This math topic focuses on solving exponential growth problems using continuous compounding, where time units are mismatched. Students rearrange equations to solve for time, applying logarithmic manipulation and algebraic rearranging. Problems range from modeling debt growth on a credit card to calculating the growth of populations (bacteria, insects) and financial calculations such as share prices and app downloads. It offers multiple-choice answers, ensuring students practice identifying and applying the correct algebraic methods in exponential functions.
