Graph Of Exponential Decay. An Exponential Function is a One-to-One Function. When 0b1 the graph shows exponential decay.
To help emphasize this we can define a constant. An exponential function with base b is defined by f x ab x where a 0 b. The graphs for exponential growth and decay functions are displayed below for comparison.
Higher values of k lead in a sense to faster decay.
Y 23x-4-1 Problem Solving 33. 0 b 1 and x is any real number. The graph shows the general shape of an exponential decay function. The graph below shows the exponential decay function gx 1 2x.
