This math topic focuses on solving for the rate of decline in various continuously decaying scenarios using exponential functions. Practiced skills include rearranging and solving exponential decay equations, handling mismatched time units (such as days to hours or months to years), and applying logarithmic transformations to find decay rates. The scenarios provided include decaying bacteria populations, radioactive materials, whale populations, and bird populations over specified time frames, requiring students to manipulate and interpret expressions accurately.
