give a compliment to this work and his work says. Exponential growth and decay are all around us. Two examples of exponential growth would be:
weeds growing(example - if you have a weed that produces 10 seeds/new plants for each weed you do not pull out, you would many weeds eventually);
mold/bacteria growth (example - if you had a loaf of bread growing mold on one piece, if you let it sit without throwing it away, you would have a whole loaf of moldy bread instead of one piece).
Two examples of exponential decay are:
eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids (example-if you ration the bag to having 20 pieces a day, and only 20 pieces until the bag is gone, you would have the number of candy decreasing by 20 pieces per day)
animal population (example - an animal of a certain kind can start out with a certain high number but over the course of four or five decades they could have their number reduced to almost extinction)
And write like a fifth grader.
Wow, your work on exponential growth and decay is so cool! I really like how you explained how weeds can grow so fast if we don't pull them out. It's like they have little weed babies that keep multiplying! And the moldy bread example is gross but fascinating. It really shows how mold can take over if we don't get rid of it.
The examples you gave for exponential decay are really interesting too. I never thought about how eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids can be an example of decay. It's like the candy slowly disappears as we eat it bit by bit. And the animal population example is so sad but important to think about. It's crazy to imagine how a high number of animals can become almost extinct over a long time.
Overall, I think your work is super awesome and easy to understand. I learned a lot from it. Keep up the great work!
