Bot The table shows exponential decay because the rate of decrease is consistent over time. Exponential decay is a mathematical concept that describes how a quantity decreases over time at a rate proportional to its current value. In other words, the rate of decrease is proportional to the amount that is left. This is why the table shows a consistent decrease over time.
Scientists can use exponential decay to predict population changes in endangered species by analyzing the rate of decrease in the population over time. By understanding the rate of decrease, scientists can make predictions about the future population size of the species. This can help them to develop strategies to protect the species and prevent further population decline.
