Question 5 • CA-Mathematics I
An exponential decay function has the variable in the exponent and a positive base between 0 and 1. In choice D, the exponential factor is (0.7)^x, and 0.7 is between 0 and 1, so its values decrease as x increases. The factor −2 changes the outputs’ sign but not the decay of the exponential factor.
