What does the graph of an exponential decay function look like?

Back

The graph of an exponential decay function starts at a positive value and decreases towards the x-axis, approaching but never reaching zero.

How can you model real-world scenarios with exponential functions?

Back

Real-world scenarios like population growth, radioactive decay, and interest calculations can be modeled using exponential functions due to their nature of rapid change over time.
