Exponential and Linear Growth

Find the growth factor for Species X.

• 5

• 15

• 3

• 10

Find the initial population for Species X.

• 5

• 15

• 3

• 10

Will Species X reach a population of 1215 in year 5?

• Yes, the point (5, 1215) is a solution on the graph.

• No, the point (5, 1215) is NOT a solution on the graph.

How confident are you feeling with exponential growth functions?

• Very confident and could help a friend!

• Fairly confident, but would like more practice.

• Not confident yet and would like some help.
