what is the effect of a larger value of k in the exponential decay equation? a. the decay stops. b. the decay happens faster. c. the decay slows down. d. the decay rate becomes constant.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
The general form of an exponential - decay equation is $y = y_0e^{-kt}$, where $y_0$ is the initial amount, $t$ is time, and $k$ is the decay constant. A larger value of $k$ means that the exponent $-kt$ will decrease more rapidly as $t$ increases. This causes the function $y$ to decay more quickly.
# Answer:
B. The decay happens faster.
