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.
Growth rates of children is not a linear relationship. (The rate of growth changes at different ages).
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
Linear growth: The population adds the same number every week/month/year.Exponential growth: The population multiplies bythe same number every week/month/year.
Do all linear graphs have proportional relationship

Exponential Decay. hope this will help :)

is the relationship linear or exponential
The answer depends on what it is that is growing. I would rather have the number of my enemies growing linearly and my friends exponentially.

A linear function grows ( or shrinks) at a constant rate called its slope.An exponential function grows ( or shrinks) at a rate which increases(or decreases)over time. From a practical standpoint linear growth (or shrinkage) is simple and predictable. Exponential growth is essentially out of control and unsustainableand exponential decay soon becomes negligible.if y=az + b then y is a linear function of z. If y=aebz then y is an exponential function of z. If y= acbz then y is still an exponential function of z because you can substitute c=ek (so that k=logec) to give you y=aekbz .

No. It can't even undergo linear growth forever, because it will run out of resources or space. With exponential growth, this merely happens more suddenly. "Exponential" growth refers to doublings. It follows a pattern like this: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024,
Normally exponential growth is defined by the behaviour of the function:f(x) =a*b^x where a and b are constants. Typically, b is a positive real number greater than 1.
Scatter graphs are best. Line graphs are OK if the trend is linear but not much good if the trend is non-linear.
