This math topic focuses on solving for the starting value in continuous growth scenarios using exponential functions. The problems involve different contexts such as financial debt, population growth of bacteria, social media metrics, and wildlife studies. The skills practiced include understanding the properties of exponential growth, applying the formula for continuous growth (using natural exponential functions), and rearranging the formula to solve for the initial quantity before growth. The problems provide real-life scenarios where growth rates and final amounts are given and require calculating the original amount before the growth began.
