y = 3/4^x. If you graph this function it will start up the y-axis and quickly move down the y-axis.

f(x) = a bx
If b < 1, it is exponential decay
a = initial value
Example:
f(x) = 1000 (0.70)x
This function may represent a population that started at 1000, then decayed by 30% each year, where x is the number of years elapsed since it was 1000.
