This math topic involves solving for continuous growth rates in various real-world scenarios. It focuses on exponential functions where students are required to calculate the rate of increase or interest based on the final and initial values over a given period of time. Problems include calculating the growth rates of insect populations, view counts on a social media post, company share prices, credit card debt, savings account balances, and app download counts. The mathematical operations primarily involve logarithmic calculations to determine the growth rate using the formula \( r = \ln\left(\frac{final value}{initial value}\right)/time \).
