This math topic focuses on solving for the rate in exponential growth equations under continuous conditions. It involves using the natural exponential function \(e^x\) to model scenarios such as the growth of a rabbit population, the compounding growth of share prices, the increase in social media post views, and the proliferation of bacteria. Students are required to rearrange the exponential equation to isolate and solve for the rate \(r\), utilizing logarithmic transformations to linearize exponential growth data for easier computation. The problems are part of an introduction to exponential functions, and solutions are given in multiple-choice format.
