If the exponent has the variable of time in it, then it will be either exponential growth (such as compound interest for example), or exponential decay (such as radioactive materials, or a capacitor discharging).

If the time constant (coefficient of the time variable) is positive then it is growth, if the time constant is negative, then it is decay.

What type of growth do populations show that have no limiting factors?

exponential. let's say you have a bacterium that will divide every hour under optimal conditions. After an hour you have 2, two hours later, 4 , and after n hours you have 2 to the nth power. After 10 hours you have 1024, after 20 hours, over a million, at 30 hours you have over a billion (a milliard if you're a brit) and at 40 hours you have over a trillion (billion if you're a brit). You would also have to get rid of waste, since they often poison critters.

How can graphs of polynomial functions show trends in data?

The way you can use graphs of polynomial functions to show trends in data is by comparing results between different functions. The alternation between the data will show the trends. Time can also be used to show the amount of variation.
