exponential decay function
[exponential decay function|exponential decay function] is a mathematical function where the base of the exponent is a value between 0 and 1.
Definition
exponential decay function is a mathematical function where the base of the exponent is a value between 0 and 1.
Mechanism
exponential decay function is represented by g(x) = (1 2)x, as shown in the link. The function f(x) = a ⋅ (1 b)x follows the same mechanism with b > 1.
Effects
exponential decay function [exponential decay function] describes a mathematical model where a quantity decreases over time, represented by the formula f(x) = a ⋅ (1/b)^x for some number b > 1.
