∙ 14y agoExponential growth (including exponential decay) occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value. In the case of a discrete domain of definition with equal intervals it is also called geometric growth or geometric decay (the function values form a geometric progression). Exponential growth is said to follow an exponential law; the simple-exponential growth model is known as the Malthusian growth model. For any exponentially growing quantity, the larger the quantity gets, the faster it grows. An alternative saying is 'The rate of growth is directly proportional to the present size'. The relationship between the size of the dependent variable and its rate of growth is governed by a strict law of the simplest kind: direct proportion. It is proved in calculus that this law requires that the quantity is given by the exponential function, if we use the correct time scale. This explains the name. The graph illustrates how exponential growth (green) surpasses both linear (red) and cubic (blue) growth

The people at the bottom of the economic ladder suffer disproportionately (both in $ and as a %), compared with the people at the top. The only people at the bottom who do really well out of it are the tradesmen, and then of course there are the banks (but then, they do well whatever happens, even when it's their fault!).

What kind of growth describes plant growth throughout the life of the the plant?
The kind of growth that describes plants growth throughout life would be exponential growth. This is because it grows at a certain rate.
How can I define and describe logarighmic growth?
Logarithmic growth is the inverse of exponential growth. Exponential growth is a growth that occurs at a rate that is consistent and fast.
What is limiting factors and exponential growth?
Limiting factors is anything you can run out of. Exponential growth is just a form of geometric growth - growth by multiples rather than addition.
What is a j-shaped curve called?
it is an exponential growth curve.
How can exponential growth happen?
There has to be no constraints on growth due to resource scarcity (not enough food, water, space) or predators.
An exponential growth function describes an amount that decreases exponentially over time?
an exponential growth function describes an amount that increases exponentially over time.
what describe the exponential growth of species?
The best description for the exponential growth of species is if the resources available are unlimited, each species can grow to its full potential. This leads the species to grow in numbers.
What are exponential growth and logistic growth?
Exponential Growth: occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate.Logistic Growth: occurs when a population's growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth around a carrying capacity.
What occurs when a population growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?
Logistic growth
The exponential model of population growth applies?
The exponential model of population growth describes the idea that population growth expands rapidly rather than in a linear fashion, such as human reproduction. Cellular reproduction fits the exponential model of population growth.
Populations of species that are r-strategists are characterized by exponential growth?
Yes and K is Logistic growth
Does an exponential growth function describes an amount that increases constantly over time?
Yes.
What occurs when a populations growth slows or stops following a period of exponential growth?
Populations growth begins to slow down.
What kind of growth describes plant growth throughout the life of the the plant?
The kind of growth that describes plants growth throughout life would be exponential growth. This is because it grows at a certain rate.
Can any species undergo exponential growth forever?
If there is restrictions on the species population then yes, why not? However if there is a limited to resources or predation then no.
How the availability of resources in the environment is linked to exponential growth of a species?
if resources are unlimited and there are no predators, then the population of a species will grow exponentially
What is a growth factor in exponential growth?
implementation of exponential groth
