This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay equations to find the starting value of a parameter, using continuous model equations with mismatched time units. These problems typically involve determining the initial population or concentration of different entities, such as birds, bacteria, whales, or radioactive materials, given a particular model of decay. The questions are designed to help learners understand and manipulate the mathematical equations involving exponential functions to isolate and solve for the starting value.
