Question 5 • JHS-Algebra 1A (full year)
An exponential decay function has a variable in the exponent and a positive base between 0 and 1. In D, the variable x is the exponent on 0.7, and 0 < 0.7 < 1, so the function’s values decrease exponentially as x increases. The other choices are linear functions because x is not in an exponent.
