About this resource

This quiz focuses on exponential depreciation within the broader topic of exponential functions and their real-world applications. The content is appropriate for grades 9-12, specifically targeting Algebra 2 or higher-level mathematics courses where students work with exponential decay models. The questions assess students' understanding of how to construct exponential decay equations using the formula y = a(1-r)^t, where 'a' represents the initial value, 'r' is the depreciation rate, and 't' is time. Students must demonstrate proficiency in distinguishing between growth and decay factors, calculating compound depreciation over multiple years, and solving both forward problems (finding future value) and reverse problems (determining original value from a depreciated amount). The core mathematical reasoning requires students to understand that depreciation means multiplying by the complement of the decay rate (such as 0.86 for 14% depreciation), apply exponent rules for compound changes over time, and manipulate exponential equations to solve for unknown variables. Created by Darek Tillman, a Mathematics teacher in US who teaches grade 9-12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for formative assessment, homework assignments, or review sessions when students are learning about exponential decay applications in financial contexts. Teachers can use these problems as warm-up exercises to activate prior knowledge about exponential functions before introducing new depreciation scenarios, or as practice problems to reinforce the connection between mathematical models and real-world financial situations. The variety of question types—from equation setup to final calculations to conceptual vocabulary—makes this quiz valuable for comprehensive review before summative assessments. This content directly supports Common Core standards A-SSE.1 (interpreting expressions), A-CED.2 (creating equations to describe relationships), and F-LE.1 (distinguishing between linear and exponential functions), while also connecting to personal finance literacy standards that emphasize understanding asset depreciation and financial decision-making.
