The math topic covered in this set of problems focuses on the application of exponential functions to solve for the initial value of a quantity that grows continuously at a given rate. The problems require rearranging exponential growth equations, with scenarios involving mismatched time units (such as days to years or quarters to years). This involves calculating the starting value of populations, social media views, or share prices over specified periods and rates. Each problem presents a real-world scenario and asks for the original value before growth occurred.
