Question

when will a multiplier be a decay factor? when the number is equal to 1 when the number is less than 1 when the number is greater than 1 when the number is less than or equal to 1 when the number is greater than or equal to 1

Explanation:

A decay factor in exponential functions (or multiplicative processes) causes a quantity to decrease over time. If a multiplier is less than 1 (e.g., 0.8), multiplying a value by it will result in a smaller value (decay). A multiplier equal to 1 keeps the value the same, and greater than 1 causes growth. So a multiplier is a decay factor when it is less than 1.

Answer:

B. When the number is less than 1
