So Much Coffee, So Little Time (systems of equations, exponential functions)

"So Much Coffee, So Little Time" can be used at the Intermediate Algebra level to help students see the value of "solving systems of linear equations". It shows connections between solving linear equations and exponential functions, and continues the study of exponential functions, this time of the form \(ab^t + c\). End behavior of these functions with horizontal asymptotes is included.
