Presuming you meant , then any value in the interval is a exponential decay function. However exponential decay functions are generally expressed as where .

I questioned what you meant because you wrote . If you want to indicate exponentiation in plain text, use ^, so to be clear, you should have posted y = b^x.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
