Exercise 31 Page 287

Pay attention to the rate at which the x-variable increases and the behavior of the y-variable.

Exponential decay function

Practice makes perfect

Let's take a look at how the x-variable increases as well as analyze the behavior of the y-variable.

As x increases by 1, y is multiplied by 0.2, which is less than 1. This tells us that the table represents an exponential decay function.
