Respuesta :
It is an exponential decay because it is going to be a fraction and the rate% is 12% per time period.
Answer is Exponential Decay.
Exponential Growth and Decay:
Exponential decay is a process that decreases quantity over time.
Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time.
(Given),
[tex]A = 21000(1-0.12)^{t}[/tex]
Let's take,
[tex]B = (1 - 0.12)^{t}[/tex]
As the t increases the B value decreases exponentially. So, the A = 21000*B also decreases exponentially as t increases.
And the rate of change per time period is (0.12 x 100)% = 12%.
So, It is exponential decay.
