This math topic focuses on solving for the time variable in exponential growth equations. It includes rearranging equations that model discrete exponential growth scenarios such as monthly compounding of savings, yearly insect breeding, rabbit population growth, and credit card debt with quarterly interest. The exercises are designed to help understand the manipulation of exponential functions and logarithms to isolate and calculate time based on given growth rates and initial conditions. Each problem presents different scenarios requiring logarithmic transformations to solve for variable time.
