Exponential decay is used to model such things as radioactive decay, and is the opposite of exponential growth (eg Bacteria growth).
Mathematically we can model it using a formula such as:
# N(t) = N_0 \ e^(-lamda t) # where#lamda gt 0 #
Resulting from a DE of the form:
# (dN)/(d lamda) = - lamda N #
