Which is an exponential decay function?

An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, and it represents decay when its positive base is between 0 and 1. In choice D, the variable is the exponent on 0.7, and 0 < 0.7 < 1, so the function decays as x increases. The factor −2 changes the outputs’ sign but not the exponential decay factor.
