A 1-gram growing sponge is observed to triple every hour. How big is the sponge after two
hours? Five hours? Write a function to represent the mass of the sponge after t hours. How big
is the sponge after 38 minutes? After one day? After one week?
t=3
h = hours
1 gram x 3 x h
38 minutes = 1.26 grams
one day = 25 grams
one week = 169

Corey deposits $300 in a bank that pays 4% annual interest. How much interest does Corey

As time goes on, what happens to the rate of growth?

1% of $300.00 = $3
