Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Evaluate at x=0.
2. Multiply by the decay factor for each one-unit increase.
3. Plot points and draw a smooth decreasing curve approaching the asymptote.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Subtracting a fixed amount each step.
