Exponential Function Solving - Growth (Continuous) Equation to Value at Time

Level 1

This math topic covers solving exponential growth problems using the continuous growth model. Specifically, it involves calculating the future value of different populations (such as bacteria, rabbits, and insects) and other quantities like social media post views and credit card debt. Each question provides an initial value and a growth rate, applying the formula \( P = P_0 e^{rt} \) to solve for the final amount after a certain period of time. The questions are arranged to enhance understanding of continuous exponential growth equations and their practical applications in various real-world scenarios.
