This math topic focuses on solving exponential growth scenarios where time units are mismatched. It involves rearranging exponential equations to find the time taken for quantities (such as debt, insect populations, and bacteria populations) to reach a certain value under continuous growth rates expressed in different time units (e.g., years, months, days). The problems require converting time units appropriately and applying logarithmic functions to solve for the variable time in the exponential growth formula. Each problem presents a realistic scenario with different initial amounts and growth rates.
