f(t) = a + b*c-t, where a, b c are constants and t is a non-negative variable, is the general form of a function describing exponential decay. t is usually a variable related to time.The value of the function starts off f(0) = a + b and decreases (decays) towards f(t) = a.


In some cases, such as radio active decay or a population extinction, a is zero so the amount of radioactive material left or surviving individuals decreases to zero.
