More Reasons to Understand the Exponential Function
Here's are a few solid examples of why its important to understand the exponential function. See your favorite math teacher for in-depth explanations of the exponential function.
1. If you were to invest $20,000 in the stock market in your early twenties, and assuming the markets perform as they have in the last 100 years, you could be a millionaire by age 60.
2. Unchecked exponential consumption in a finite world equals ultimate degradation if not complete destruction of the world which of course could really impact your lifestyle. Right?
3. Population growth of 1.3% unchecked would grow to 1 person per square meter of dry earth in 780 years.
