If you were to plot this, would it be a flat line? The easiest way to visualize this is to actually plot some points.

Try just going at it logically. Each time 't' increases you are multiplying 2.6 by a smaller and smaller number. A linear equation would not have a power in it.

OpenStudy (espex):

The exponent is getting larger, which in turn gives you a smaller multiplier, resulting in a smaller number. Plug it into your calculator and watch.

If the number gets increasingly close to zero, what do you call that?

did u get his explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have any options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is A

It is an exponential decay, good job. The reason why is because the \((0.7)^t\) gets smaller and smaller each time 't' increases. The smaller the multiplier, the closer to 0 you get each time.
