This math topic focuses on solving exponential growth problems where the growth is continuous, primarily involving the manipulation of mismatched time units. The problems require students to rearrange exponential equations to solve for the growth rate in various real-world scenarios, such as share prices, app downloads, credit card debt, bacteria population, and savings accounts growth over specified timescales. Each question presents initial and final values with the challenge of interpreting the mismatched time units correctly to find the continuous growth rate using exponential functions.
