24.5.5 The Sheer Power of Exponential Growth

Core idea

Fold a sheet of paper a few dozen times and it could reach the moon, showing how unbelievably faster exponential growth is than linear.

Module goal. Use exponentials and logarithms to capture real-world growth, decay, and phenomena spanning many orders of magnitude, feeling the value of modeling
