Which is an exponential decay function?

An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, and it represents decay when its positive base is between 0 and 1. In choice D, the variable is in the exponent and the base is 0.7, so the function decreases exponentially; the factor −2 only reflects the outputs across the x-axis. The other choices have x as a factor rather than an exponent.
