If one person gives three starters away to three people and then those people go through the same process, eventually a large city of people may be eating friendship bread. This is an example of a real-life exponential function. The yeast must really multiply, but let's focus on how many people are receiving starters and how that increases every 10 days. What is the exponential growth pattern?

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
