Madisyn Moon · Answer 1

exponential decay

Step-by-step explanation:

exponential decay describes the process of reducing an amount by a consistent percentage rate over a period of time. It can be expressed by the formula y=a (1-b) x wherein y is the final amount, a is the original amount, b is the decay factor, and x is the amount of time that has passed. Exponential decay occurs when the amount of decrease is directly proportional to how much exists.
