It takes bacteria roughly an hour to reproduce through prokaryotic fission.
The King of India was so impressed with the game that he asked the mathematician to name a prize as a reward. This is an example of exponential growth. Examples of Applications of Exponential Functions We have seen in past courses that exponential functions are used to represent growth and decay. This is important since the rate of growth cannot change.
