This math topic focuses on solving exponential growth problems where the rate of growth needs to be determined given certain continuous growth scenarios with mismatched time units. The problems involve determining the rate at which various quantities such as insect populations, bank account balances, and download counts increase over time. Students need to calculate the exponential growth rate, using expressions that involve logarithms and exponents, adjusting for the mismatch in the given time units (days, weeks, quarters, months) relative to the standard time unit typically used in each formula (usually a year).
