    Real-life situation represented by an exponential function

    Think of a real-life situation that can be represented by a exponential function; translate the situation to the function; solve the function and represent it graphically. I want to use my example below: Suppose you deposit $100 at 10% interest. How long will it take to get $200? THANK YOU!!

    Real-life situation in logarithmic functions

    You can just switch on the heater of your swimming pool / sauna / living room etc. But if you want to be calculate what time you should switch it on, to make sure that it is not heated up too early (save energy) or too late, you would use the logarithmic functions. Show in detail, how these situations can be represented by a
