A function of a real variable defined for all real x by the sum to infinity of the (convergent) series
ex=1+x+x2/2!+x3/3!+.... The notation reflects the index property that ex×ey=ex+y. The notation 'exp(x)' is sometimes used for ex, particularly when x is a complicated algebraic expression. The number e is given by the above series with x=1, so
e=1+1+1/2!+1/3!+...≈ 2.718 28. The exponential and http://www.answers.com/topic/natural-logarithm functions are related by exp (ln x)=x for x>0 and ln (ex)=x for all values of x."

Cubic Growth is x^a, a being some constant, while exponential growth is a^x. Exponential growth ends up growing MUCH faster than cubic growth.
Reverend Thomas Malthus developed the concept of Exponential Growth (another name for this is Malthusian growth model.) However the mathematical Exponent function was already know, but not applied to population growth and growth constraints. Exponential Decay is a natural extension of Exponential Growth
Exponential growth has a growth/decay factor (or percentage decimal) greater than 1. Decay has a decay factor less than 1.
Exponential Decay. hope this will help :)
That would be an exponential decay curve or negative growth curve.
