Step 1
We are given the function:
(f(x)=(13)x 

Step 2
We identify the value of the base. The base, (13,) is greater than 0 and smaller than 1, the function represents exponential decay.
Step 3
We make a table of values:
xy291301113219
Step 4
We plot the points from the table. Then draw a smoth curve from right to left, that begins just above the x-axis, passes throigh the plotted points and moves up to the left.

Step 5
The percent of decrease is:
(1  13=23=66%)
