Question

The graph shows the number of people infected with a virus as a function of time.

The graph shows exponential ___
A- decay
B- growth

As the amount of people infected with the virus decreases, time ___
A- increases
B- decreases

Answer 1

The graph shows exponential B

exponential decay is when the graph is decreasing/going down

exponential growth is when the graph is increasing/going up

The graph is shown to be increasing, so it is exponential growth

As the amount of people infected with the virus decreases, time B

If you look at the graph, as time increases, the number of infected people also increases. So when the # of infected ppl decreases, so does time

Answer 2

1. Growth

2. Decreases

Explanation:

The graph shows the number of people infected with a virus as a function of time.

1.

The graph shows exponential growth because the graph is increasing above. It is going upwards, as the time is increasing.

2.

As the amount of people infected with the virus decreases, time decreases.

As it is a growth graph, if we study this in the opposite direction, that is from upwards to downwards, we can see that as the graph is going down, the values on the y axis are also decreasing.
