Use Case 2:Scientist's, Microbiologist's and other professionals use exponents to calculate exponential growth. Say, if a Bacteria grows into 100 Bacteria in 1 minute. How many Bacteria will be present in 10 minutes ?

Exponents Example - Showing Exponential Growth of Bacteria in 10 minutes Exponents example showing exponential growth of bacteria in 10 minutes

Wow, the numeber is huge, the Bacteria grows very fast, if it was not for exponents we wouldn't be effectively & quickly be able to execute these calculations.

Use Case 3:Exponents are also leveraged in the Compound Interest Calculations.
