You can do an exponential equation without a table and going straight to the equation YC 1- rT with C being the starting value the being for a growth problem the - being for a decay problem the r being the percent increase or decrease and the T being the time. A value at the start. 177 divided by 59 3.

The table of values for the exponential decay equation y big frac 1 9 big x demonstrates the same property as the graph. Y t a e kt. K rate of growth when 0 or decay when. An exponential equation is still involved but the exponent is such that the values keep decreasing or decaying over time.
