What is exponential decay

When a population or group of something is declining, and the amount that decreases is proportional to the size of the population, it's called exponential decay. In exponential decay, the total value decreases but the proportion that leaves remains constant over time.

Exponential decay is the decrease in a quantity according to the law. (1) for a parameter and constant (known as the decay constant), where is the exponential function and is the initial value.
