Exponential Equation

Modeling Using an Exponential Equation

• Use exponential and logarithmic functions to solve real-world problems.
  • Explain an appropriate situation in which there is an exponential increase or decrease of a quantity.
  • Provide and explain an appropriate formula that shows how the quantity depends on time and that uses generally correct mathematical notation.
  • Explain the use of the selected formula, and address one question related to the selected situation in which there is an exponential increase or decrease of a quantity.
  • Provide a majority of the steps in the calculations, explain the calculations shown, and present calculations that are generally free of errors
