An "a" value of less than 1 produces a graph with an exponential decay. True or false?
And if you could explain how you got that, that would be great! Thank you!

True because that is the definition of a decay function look at the equation of y=3^x in red see how it just keeps increasing
y=0.5^x in blue just keeps decreasing this is because the a is less than 1
