Georgia Standards of Excellence (state-adopted content standards) — Georgia
Georgia Milestones is Georgia’s own statewide assessment system, aligned to Georgia’s state-adopted content standards rather than a shared national test framework. The official page says it measures knowledge and skills in the state-adopted standards for mathematics across grades 3 through high school ([Georgia Department of Education](https://gadoe.org/assessment-accountability/georgia-milestones/)).

A lab culture starts with cells. Each hour, a model estimates that the number of cells triples. Which equation defines this model, where is the estimated number of cells hours after the culture begins?
The starting count is , and tripling each hour means multiplying by , so .
An -milligram sample of a radioactive isotope has a half-life of years.
Choose the function model that correctly calculates the amount remaining after years.
The remaining amount after years is where is the half-life. Here and so
The function is defined by . The function models the mass, in milligrams, of a medicine in a patient's bloodstream, where is the number of hours after an injection. According to the model, what is the estimated mass, in milligrams, of the medicine at the time of the injection?
At the time of injection, . So milligrams.
You invest at annual interest compounded yearly for years. What is the total?
Year 1: . Year 2: .
The function is defined by . The function models a savings balance, in dollars, weeks after an account is opened. Which statement is the best interpretation of in this context?
When , . So is the balance when the account is opened.
A plant's height , in centimeters, after weeks of growth is modeled by . Which of the following is the best interpretation of in this context?
In , the multiplies weeks, so the plant grows centimeters each week.
A plumber charges a flat fee for a service visit plus a fixed amount per hour of work. Let be the number of hours worked and be the total charge in dollars. The situation is modeled by . Which is the best interpretation of the number in this equation?
The coefficient of is the hourly rate, so is the charge in dollars for each hour of work.
