Linear population growth occurs when the population of a city, state or other zone increases by about the same rate every year.
Graphs of exponential growth and linear growth differ primarily in their rate of increase. In linear growth, values increase by a constant amount over equal intervals, resulting in a straight line. In contrast, exponential growth shows values increasing by a percentage of the current amount, leading to a curve that rises steeply as time progresses. This means that while linear growth remains constant, exponential growth accelerates over time, showcasing a dramatic increase.
Growth rates of children is not a linear relationship. (The rate of growth changes at different ages).
Linear growth: The population adds the same number every week/month/year.Exponential growth: The population multiplies bythe same number every week/month/year.

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.

Seldom.

The same as linear growth, e.g. start with 30 hats, buy 3 new ones each year. There is algebraic/linear growth of the number of hats through the years

Exponential Decay. hope this will help :)

An example of a linear population can be seen in a simple model of a species that reproduces at a constant rate in an environment with unlimited resources. For instance, if a rabbit population doubles every year under ideal conditions, the growth can be represented by a linear equation. However, in reality, most populations are better described by exponential growth models due to resource limitations. A true linear population growth is rare in nature but can be approximated in controlled settings.
