This math topic focuses on solving exponential decay problems in discrete time settings. It involves determining the time required for various quantities—a charitable endowment's funds, toxin concentrations, and bird and whale populations—to decrease to specific values. Problems are set within real-world scenarios, such as monthly disbursements from an endowment, toxin reductions due to dialysis, and annual declines in wildlife populations, requiring the application of logarithmic functions to solve for the elapsed time.
