Melanie began studying a sample of the chemical element einsteinium-253 which naturally loses its mass over time. The relationship between the elapsed time, t, in days, since Melanie started studying the sample, and the total mass remaining in the sample, M(t), in micrograms, is modeled by the following function: M(t)=169⋅(0.96)^t. How much percent does the chemical element lose weight by?

Which is the graph of the function y=2(4)^x
