This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay problems in continuous systems by rearranging equations to find the decay rate (r). It involves practical scenarios such as the decline in wildlife populations and reductions in toxin concentrations. Students practice isolating the decay rate 'r' from given equations, sharpening their skills in manipulating exponential functions and logarithms. Each question presents an exponential function that models a decay process, and students must use logarithmic manipulation to solve for the decay rate. The problems are labeled as Level 1, suggesting they are introductory exercises in understanding exponential decay equations.
