Answer:

decay

2% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor is the base of the exponent: 0.98. Its relation to the rate of change is ...

growth factor = 1 + rate of change

0.98 = 1 + (-0.02)

So, the rate of change is -0.02 = -2%. Since the rate of change is a 2% decrease, it represents decay.
