About this lesson
This is such an important video as it links all the learning done before and shows how you can apply it to application questions. This video looks at applying the work on Exponentials to real world problems relating to cell growth, radioactive decay and those pesky kangaroos! As part of the Year 11 (VCE) Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2 course it shows how we can fit the learning to application style questions. There are a number of worked examples all explained in an easy to understand way.
