Exponential Function Solution Equation - Growth (Continuous) Equation to Rate

Level 1

This math topic focuses on solving for the rate of growth using exponential functions in continuous growth scenarios. It covers practical application of exponential functions in various contexts such as population growth of insects and rabbits, compound interest growth in savings accounts, and social media post views. The problems involve rearranging exponential equations to isolate and calculate the growth rate (r) using both natural log (ln) and exponential expressions.
