What is the difference between Linear Growth and Exponential Growth?

Back

Linear Growth increases by a constant amount over time, while Exponential Growth increases by a constant percentage, leading to much larger values over the same period.

How can you identify Exponential Growth in a graph?

Back

In a graph, Exponential Growth appears as a curve that rises steeply, becoming steeper over time, while Linear Growth appears as a straight line.

How can you identify Exponential Decay in a graph?

Back

In a graph, Exponential Decay appears as a curve that falls steeply, becoming less steep over time, while Linear Decay appears as a straight line.
