The scenario in which an exponential function should be used to represent the problem is:

The problem is about the repeated multiplication or division of a constant value.

Exponential functions model situations where a quantity grows or decays at a consistent rate (such as population growth, radioactive decay, or compound interest), which involves repeated multiplicative processes.
