This document discusses exponential growth models and provides examples. Exponential growth can be modeled by the equation Y = abx, where a is the starting number, b is the growth factor, and x is the number of intervals. Simple interest rates can be modeled by the equation y = a(1+r)t, where a is the initial amount, r is the interest rate, and t is time. Compound interest is calculated using the formula A = P(1+r/n)nt, where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per period, and t is time in years. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating
