How to write a function of cutting a sheet of paper and a half and then cutting each part and a half and then cutting those parts and a half

In this problem we need an exponential function

where

x ------> is the number of cuts

y ---->the size of a sheet of paper

the equation is of the form

[tex]y=a(1-r)^x[/tex]

where

a is the original size of paper

r is the rate of decay -----> in this problem r=50%=0.50

therefore

the equation is

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=a(1-0.50)^x \\ y=a(0.50)^x \end{gathered}[/tex]
