An exponential function can have negative y-values. However, a real-world exponential decay model will never have negative values. Think of it this way... If you divide a positive number by 2 (or take half of it) and then divide that next number by 2, you will never reach or go below 0. For Example: 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, etc. (Each number is half of the number before it.)

Yes.
The X Factor usually runs for about 3 - 3 and a half months. September through to Decemeber. Bagshad :)
The graph of that function looks like a big letter ' V '. The point of the 'V' is at the origin,the left half has slope = -3, and the right half has slope = 3.
The bacteria population has an exponential growth with a factor of 16 per hour. The growth factor has to be determined for the population change each half hour.
For an exponential function: General equation of exponential decay is A(t)=A0e^-at The definition of a half-life is A(t)/A0=0.5, therefore: 0.5 = e^-at ln(0.5)=-at t= -ln(0.5)/a For exponential growth: A(t)=A0e^at Find out an expression to relate A(t) and A0 and you solve as above
A quantity is said to be subject to exponential decay if it decreases at a rate proportional to its value. The time required for the decaying quantity to fall to one half of its initial value.Radioactive decay is a good example where the half life is constant over the entire decay time.In non-exponential decay, half life is not constant.

A possible exponential decay function for this scenario would be P(t) = P0 * (0.5)^(t/50), where P(t) is the amount remaining after time t, P0 is the initial amount, and t is the time passed in years. This formula represents the decay of a substance with a half-life of 50 years.

The half life of actinium (for the natural isotope 227Ac) is 21,773 years.
The exponential function that models the decay of the material is given by ( f(t) = 381 \times (0.5)^{\frac{t}{75}} ), where ( t ) is the time in days. To find how much material is left after ( t ) days, plug in the desired value of ( t ) into the function.
A half-life is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive substance to decay. It is a constant characteristic of each radioactive isotope and is used to determine the rate of decay of a substance.
Not really, a half-life is applied to substances on a steady exponential decay. Stars have more dramatic life histories so the concept of a half-life is not really applicable.
