You’ll leave with these skills
01Find when an exponential model reaches a target amountGraph the model and a horizontal line at the target amount, then click where they cross to get the time.
02Find the first whole year a model passes a targetCheck the whole years on each side of the crossing and pick the first one where the model is past the target.
03Find when one exponential model overtakes anotherGraph both models and click where their graphs cross to find when one passes the other.
04Count every crossing, including ones outside the graph windowZoom out in both directions before you decide how many times the graphs cross.
