This math topic focuses on solving for the rate in exponential decay equations given scenarios such as toxin concentrations decreasing over time with dialysis, population declines over breeding cycles, and the reduction of balances in charitable endowments. Each problem presents an equation, representing either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly changes, and learners must rearrange the equation to isolate and solve for the rate (r) of decay. This topic is part of an introduction to exponential functions, targeting the application of exponential decay in various practical contexts.
