This math topic focuses on the application of exponential decay functions in various practical contexts, such as charitable endowments and toxin concentration in medical treatments. Specifically, it involves rearranging exponential equations to solve for the decay rate given different contexts and time periods (e.g., daily, weekly, yearly disbursements). The problems require understanding and manipulation of exponential expressions to isolate and solve for the variable representing the rate of decay, often involving mismatched time units. The exercises provide multiple-choice solutions, requiring students to derive the correct formula adjustment for the rate.
