Math Problem Statement

How do you determine if a situation involves exponential growth or decay? What is the difference between simple and compound interest in exponential functions? How do you calculate the half-life of a substance using an exponential decay function? What are the key steps to writing an exponential function given real-world data? How does the rate of increase or decrease affect the final outcome in exponential models?

Solution

I see you've uploaded images of an exponential growth and decay worksheet. Do you need help solving specific problems, or would you like a full explanation of the concepts? Let me know how I can assist you!

Here are five possible questions related to the worksheet:

  1. How do you determine if a situation involves exponential growth or decay?
  2. What is the difference between simple and compound interest in exponential functions?
  3. How do you calculate the half-life of a substance using an exponential decay function?
  4. What are the key steps to writing an exponential function given real-world data?
  5. How does the rate of increase or decrease affect the final outcome in exponential models?

Tip: When solving exponential problems, always check if the rate is given as a percentage and convert it to a decimal before using it in the formula.
