This math topic focuses on understanding and identifying components of the exponential decay function \( P = P_0 \times (1-r)^t \) in various contexts. Each problem requires identifying a specific term in the formula (such as the starting population, final cash, rate of decline, or time) given a scenario like wildlife population decline, charitable endowment balance, or concentration of a toxin. It helps students connect abstract mathematical concepts with real-world applications, fostering critical thinking about how exponential decay functions operate over time.
