Security of proprietary formula in apk

I am a software developer with very limited experience in Android development. I am considering writing a very simple app to do a simple calculation, but the formula for the calculation is proprietary. Am I correct in assuming that something like Apktool would be able to decompile my apk, thus exposing the formula to prying eyes? If so, is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks!
