Hello, In my math class I'm currently having an issue you might be able to help with. This is related to my MA:1310 College Mathematics II course in ITT. I've just started working on sequences and I seem to be getting the hang of it decently, then for the next week the discussion for class asks me to post something by these guidelines "Think of a real-life application of an exponential function. The model should have both data and graph. State if the function models exponential growth or exponential decay and find the function's rate of growth or decay. Explain why your example represents an exponential function." so basically what I think I'm being asked is to think of some sequence in life that can be worked out using exponentials, and I feel very clueless... maybe in something at the rate of something being done... say a bunch of people are picking apples, so many apples get picked a day, so say 20 apples is the daily amount to be picked then a=20 and my sequence would start n1 =a^1 = 20 and would continue n2 = a^2 = 400 and would continue to go on. although this problem then asks for a graph as well.... if I could get any help if I'm on the right track here or not I'd appreciate it alot
