This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay functions where the main variable is the rate of decay. It caters to situations with mismatched time units in a discrete context. The problems specifically involve calculating the decay rate of scenarios such as the balance of a charitable endowment with different disbursement frequencies (weekly, monthly, yearly), and the decline in toxin concentration for varying lengths of dialysis treatments (hourly, weekly). Multiple choice answers are provided for solving these exponential functions, emphasizing practical applications of the exponential decay formula in diverse settings.
