Exponential Function Solving - Growth (Continuous) Scenario to Value at Time

Level 1

This math topic revolves around solving exponential growth scenarios using continuous growth models. It includes calculations of final values for scenarios such as app downloads growing annually, credit card debt accumulating interest each quarter, and bacteria populations increasing daily or annually. The problems require applying the exponential growth formula \( A = A_0 \times e^{(rt)} \), where \( A_0 \) is the initial amount, \( r \) is the rate of growth, and \( t \) is the time elapsed. These practices are fundamental in understanding how quantities evolve over time in continuously compounding situations, emphasizing exponential functions' practical applications in finance, population studies, and other growth phenomena.
