    This function represents exponential decay.

    We know it's exponential because the value the base (200) is being multiplied by is being raised to the power of x.

    In this case, the multiplication value is 0.8, which is less than 1.

    If the multiplication value is less than 1, than the function will decay, rather than grow.

    In this case, the factor is 0.8, or 80%.
