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

Level 1

This math topic focuses on skills related to understanding and manipulating exponential growth equations in continuous growth scenarios. Problems involve situations such as continuously growing company share prices, savings account balances, and credit card debts. The tasks required include rearranging exponential functions to solve for the continuous growth rate, given the initial and final amounts, and the time elapsed. The aim is to determine the formula expressing the growth rate in terms of logarithmic (Ln) or exponential (e) functions. Each exercise is provided with several potential answers in the form of mathematical expressions.
