Exponential Decay and Percentage Conversion

The video tutorial explains exponential decay functions, focusing on converting decay rates between percentages and decimals, and finding decay rates from decay factors. It covers the formula F(x) = A * B^x, where A is the initial amount and B is the decay factor. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for conversions and calculations, ensuring a clear understanding of the concepts.

What is the form of an exponential decay function?

• f(x) = A + B^x

• f(x) = A / B^x

• f(x) = A * B^x

• f(x) = A - B^x
