This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay equations in scenarios where the decay happens over discrete and mismatched time intervals. Problems require practitioners to manipulate exponential decay equations to find the decay rate based on the given initial and final amounts and the time period over which the decay occurs. Time units involved are usually mixed, such as months and years or days and weeks, requiring conversion for proper calculation. The topic includes real-life contexts such as charitable endowments and toxin levels affected by dialysis, making the problems applicable and engaging for learners.
