a)children grow more slowly than they did in early childhood.
Growth rates of children is not a linear relationship. (The rate of growth changes at different ages).
Not really. The growth rate for limestone is measured in geological ages.
Growth weight varies by age and sex, so there is no precise way to describe growth rate in general. If you have concerns about the growth of your child, you should see a pediatrician.
The details of how to take growth rate measurements can be found on the following web page by scrolling down to the bottom.

To find out, you must look at your growth rate in the past.
Exponential growth is when the growth rate is a function of the amount. Another way of saying it is, the more there is, the higher the growth rate. This occurs in just about all populations including humans. This growth will continue at an exponential rate until some other limiting factor reduces the growth rate such as famine or disease. For more information look up the "Law of natural growth and decay."
Clearly not. Most growth occurs from ages 0-18. How often do you see a 35 year old getting taller each year? The growth rate is probably modeled well by an exponential decay (high when you are a baby, almost zero when you are 75).
The population ages 65 years and older grew at a rate of 12.6% in the 1990s. This was driven by factors such as the aging of the baby boomer generation and increased life expectancy.
The dependency rate is a demographic indicator that measures the ratio of dependent individuals (such as children and the elderly) to the working-age population within a given society. It helps to illustrate the level of support that the working population must provide for dependents.
No that is the demographics of the population. Population growth happens when the rate of people dying (at whatever age) is exceeded by the birth rate.
A growth factor of corresponds to a growth rate of
