1. Given: 27 men can complete the job in 15 days.
2. Calculate the total amount of work in terms of men-days:
W = 27 \times 15
3. Let \( x \) be the number of days required for 18 men to complete the same work. Therefore:
18 \times x = W
4. Equate the work from both scenarios:
27 \times 15 = 18 \times x
5. Solve for \( x \):
x = \frac{27 \times 15}{18}
x = 22.5 \text{ days}
6. Answer: 18 men can complete the job in x = 22.5 days.

A function is considered exponential when it has a base with positive values greater than zero and different from one, where the exponent is an unknown. An important characteristic of exponential functions is that they show rapid growth or decay as an independent variable increases or decreases.
