I like curves but I don't know that one. Can you clarify? Is the following an example of an instance of that curve? y = x2^(-1x)

y = x2^(-1x)
- eindiran 8y agoAlmost. Instead of being a variable that can be replaced by 2, e refers to the mathematical constant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant) This curve is a variant of the natural exponential function, where the dependent variable is time.

- thaumasiotes 8y agoWhat do you mean "almost"? f(t) = t·2^(-t) is precisely an instance of the family of curves f(t) = t·e^(-rt) with r = ln 2.
