The vaulue is decreasing since you multiple by a decimal which isn’t a whole number.

The value in this case would be going up. Since. 75 being multiplied by an increasing number would only increase, the value must be doing the same.

However, if that t were an exponent, the value would be decreasing. The more a number between 0 and 1 is multiplied by itself, the smaller it gets.
