Question

How are exponential growth and decay present in the real world? Give at least 2 examples for exponential growth and 2 examples of exponential decay.

Answer 1

there are many examples and you need only two

Answer 2

here is an example for decaying:

Answer 3

okay :)

Answer 4

for example if you climb a mountain or if you are on a plane, then the atmospheric pressure decreases as you go higher

Answer 5

do you need equations for that? or just an example of real life?

Answer 6

human population in many cases is consider an exponential growth

Answer 7

just a example

Answer 8

Bacteria growth is a famous biological exponential growth property

Answer 9

well how do I put all of this information togehter?

Answer 10

nuclear is another example of exponential decay, and in some cases exponential growth

Answer 11

ok i will organize the answers for u

Answer 12

i am just trying to remember real life examples

Answer 13

okay thank you!

Answer 14

1. Exponential law of decay in nuclear physics The rate of disintegration of any nuclide at any time, as N decreases the time t increases

Answer 15

what does this mean? I'm so confused I can't even think straight :O

Answer 16

This is what I'm trying to do. This is another answer from another kid in my class. I''7m trying to make something like this.




(Exponential growth and decay are present in the real world all around us. When it goes to exponential decay can be used today to find the half life of radioactive substances. In science I just learned about how radioactive material decays over a long period of time with half lives and you can use exponential decay to find the decay of the radioactive substance.
Another example is during the NCAA tournament in March. The tournament starts with 68 schools and half of the teams are eliminated each round. You can find out using exponential decay how many teams would be left after a certain number of rounds.
When it comes to exponential growth it is not as easy to calculate according to the video but one thing that has exponential growth is the bacteria on food left out at a pinic during the summer. The food might still look good but, with the temperature outside and the bugs that food is a breeding ground for bacteria.
Another example of exponential growth is the spreading of a virus in a population. The exponential growth of the virus of small pox years ago and then the chicken pox virus spreading in a school. The exponential growth is used to estimate how much of the population will contract the virus. )

Answer 17

yes but u don't need to right this essay

Answer 18

we already mentioned many of these exaples

Answer 19

i will have to log out and come back ok so don't go away

Answer 20

i dont remeber.

Answer 21

are you there??

Answer 22

sorry i had problems with my internet connections, i fixed it now

Answer 23

anyways when u r back i will send u the document i wrote

Answer 24

mathsmind wait, pls post it now! I'm doing this one right now and need help too!
