Exponential Function Solving - Decay (Discrete) Equation to Value at Time

Level 1

The math topic primarily focuses on solving exponential decay problems in various scenarios using discrete functions. It involves calculating the final values over time, based on initial conditions, decay rates, and time periods. The problems are set in contexts such as the financial balance of endowments, the concentration of toxins during dialysis, and the size of whale populations during breeding cycles. Each question provides an exponential decay function and asks to determine the correct final value from multiple choices, enhancing understanding of exponential decay models applied practically.
