A curve
The formula for an exponential curve is generally expressed as ( y = a \cdot b^x ), where ( y ) is the output, ( a ) is a constant that represents the initial value, ( b ) is the base of the exponential (a positive real number), and ( x ) is the exponent or input variable. When ( b > 1 ), the curve shows exponential growth, while ( 0 < b < 1 ) indicates exponential decay. This type of curve is commonly used to model phenomena such as population growth, radioactive decay, and compound interest.
J
The letter "J" is commonly used to refer to the characteristic shape of an exponential growth curve. This shape resembles the letter "J," as it starts off slowly, then accelerates rapidly as the population or quantity increases, reflecting the nature of exponential growth.
Moore's Law states essentially the exponential nature of the curve existing between transistor count in a single chip and passed time in years. Although in most websites and sources, the curve shown is straight with transistor # being in the Y axis, it must be observed, Moore stated that the curve is exponential. Thus the graphs, if linear are logarithmic curves, as a log graph for an exponential curve is linear in nature. So instead of transistor nos (x) , we use ln(x)
That would be an exponential decay curve or negative growth curve.
A curve
If the common ratio is negative then the points are alternately positive and negative. While their absolute values will lie on an exponential curve, an oscillating sequence will not lie on such a curve,
A J-shaped curve is often referred to as exponential growth, which illustrates a rapid increase in a population or entity over time. This curve demonstrates a steady rise and acceleration in growth without any limiting factors in place.

The curve to the right shows that radioactive decay follows an exponential decrease over time.
An Allen curve is a graphical representation which reveals the exponential drop in frequency of communication between engineers as the distance between them increases.
An exponential growth curve represents a pattern of growth where the rate of growth is proportional to the current size of the population or system. This leads to rapid and continuous acceleration in growth over time. Examples include bacterial growth in a petri dish or compound interest in finance.

There is no specific name for it since the curve is not specified. The curve could be a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola), or a trigonometric function, or a polynomial, exponential, etc. Or a combination of these.
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
