Understanding Exponential Decay
What is Exponential Decay?
Exponential decay describes a process where a quantity decreases at a rate proportional to its current value. This creates a characteristic curve that gets steeper at the beginning and flattens out over time.
The Formula
The exponential decay formula is:
A(t) = Aâ‚€(1 - r)áµ—
- A(t) = Final amount
- Aâ‚€ = Initial amount
- r = Decay rate (as a decimal)
- t = Time periods
