Writing Exponential Equations from Story Problems

The video tutorial explains how to model story problems using linear, quadratic, or exponential equations, focusing on writing exponential equations. It covers defining variables, understanding the general form of exponential equations, and finding the common ratio. An example of bacteria growth is used to illustrate these concepts, showing how to define variables and calculate the initial value and common ratio to form the equation.

What is the initial value (A) and common ratio (B) in the bacteria growth story?

How do you derive the equation for the total number of bacteria based on time?
