Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
An exponential function represents decay when its effective base is between 0 and 1. In choice C, (8/7) raised to the power −x is equivalent to (7/8)^x, and 7/8 is between 0 and 1. Therefore, choice C, f(x) = (3/2)(8/7)^(−x), is an exponential decay function.
