    A) Decrease is a constant rate. Therefore the function will be linear.

    Q = 25 - 4t

    b) Decrease is exponential. You will have a exponential function.

    Q = 25 (1-.09) ^t = 25 (.91) ^t

    c) Decrease is exponential. You will have a continuous exponential function.

    Q = 25e^ (-.12t)
