Exponential Growth Functions

Question 5 • CA-Mathematics I

Which is an exponential decay function?

Answer
A
f(x) = 0.2 x
B
f(x) = –3.1x
C
f(x) = 10x
D
f(x) = −2(0.7)x

Explanation

An exponential decay function has the variable in the exponent and a positive base between 0 and 1. In choice D, the exponential factor is (0.7)^x, and 0.7 is between 0 and 1, so its values decrease as x increases. The factor −2 changes the outputs’ sign but not the decay of the exponential factor.
