How are exponential growth patterns similar to and different from linear growth patterns?
They are similar because the population increases over time in both cases, and also because you are using a mathematical model for a real-world process. They are different because exponential growth can get dramatically big and bigger after a fairly short time. Linear growth keeps going up the same amount each time. Exponential growth goes up by more each time, depending on what the amount (population) is at that time. Linear growth can start off bigger than exponential growth, but exponential growth will always win out.
Why can't linear graphs give an idea with clothing sizes for infants?
Growth rates of children is not a linear relationship. (The rate of growth changes at different ages).
What is the difference between linear and non linear graphs?
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
Do linear graphs represent proportional relationships?
Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship
What is the difference between linear and exponential population growth?
Linear growth: The population adds the same number every week/month/year.Exponential growth: The population multiplies bythe same number every week/month/year.
