What is the rate of decay of f (x) = 200 multiply (0.6) ^x

The rate of decay is 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay rate is found by looking at the number raised to the variable. In this case that is the 0.6 but this comes from the general formula f (x) = a (1-decay rate) * so the 200 is your a or your initial amount and the 0.6 comes from subtracting the decay rate from 1 or in other words 0.6=1-decay rate. Thus the decay rate = 1 - 0.6 or 0.4 which is 40%
