**Identifying Decay Factors in Functions**

For each of the following functions, determine if a decay factor exists. If there is no decay factor, type "N."

1) \( y = 0.8^x \)  
   Decay factor is [ ]

2) \( y = -3x - 8 \)  
   Decay factor is [ ]

3) \( g(x) = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^x \)  
   Decay factor is [ ]
