Questions at easy, medium and hard levels. Pick a level and get a fresh set every time, with instant feedback.

Learn it Growth: A = A₀(1 + r)ᵗ. Decay: A = A₀(1 − r)ᵗ. Half-life: A = A₀(½)^(t/h), where h is the half-life. r is the rate per period as a decimal.

Example: A town of 12 000 grows 3% a year. Population after 10 years?

  1. A = 12 000(1.03)¹⁰.
  2. ≈ 16 127.
