This is an example for the function #f(x)=2*e^(-3 x)#

This is just a particular case of the general form #f(x)=a*e^(k x)#
where #a# is a constant representing the value at start and #k# is the rate of growth (when #k>0#) or the rate of decay (when #k<0#).

(Please note that #f# is always a function of time, so the symbol #t# it is often used instead of #x#).
