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?

The exponential function that represents the rate of decay is:

f(t) = 100 * (0.95)^t

Where t is the number of years since the compound was first measured, and f(t) is the size of the compound after t years.
