![**Characteristics of Exponential Functions**
**Image Description:**
A graph is shown on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from -1 to 4, and the y-axis ranges from -2 to 24. The curve on the graph is decreasing exponentially as it moves rightward along the x-axis. Three specific points are highlighted: (0, 16), (1, 8), and (2, 4). The curve starts at the top left and gets closer to the x-axis but never touches it (asymptotic behavior).
Use the graph to write the function rule. How do you know you are correct?
[Input Box for Entering Answer]
Explanation of the graph:
The graph represents an exponential decay function. The highlighted points indicate the curve’s passage through (0, 16), (1, 8), and (2, 4), illustrating the classic rapid decrease characteristic of exponential decay. By identifying the pattern and the specific values, you can derive the function rule.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F716b07bd-8c61-4cea-9832-6f6fb0ec5c5a%2Fe6e51b5e-021b-419d-83ab-6599176a71be%2Fy4yyrvl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
