A chemical compound decays at a rate of 5% per year. If the initial size of the compound is 100 grams, what is the exponential function that represents the rate of decay?
(1 point)
y = 0.95x^0.05
Oy = 100x^0.95
Oy = 100x^0.05
Oy = 100(0.05)^x
O y = 100(0.95)^x

y = 100(0.95)^x
arr you sure
I apologize for the error in my response. Let me correct that.
The exponential function that represents the rate of decay of a chemical compound that decays at a rate of 5% per year starting with an initial size of 100 grams is:
y = 100 * (0.95)^x
This equation takes into account the decay rate of 5% per year, represented by the factor 0.95, and the initial size of the compound of 100 grams.
