This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay equations in a continuous setting to determine population values at specific times. It includes multiple problems where students are tasked with calculating the future population of birds or bacteria. The process involves using an initial population value and applying an exponential decay formula that factors in a decay rate and a time period. Students select an appropriate mathematical expression that models the scenario provided. This topic falls under an introductory unit on exponential functions and emphasizes understanding and applying continuous decay models in real-world contexts.
