PLEASE ANSWER:Which of the following are examples of exponential growth? Select all that apply Shasta increases the amount she saves each month by 5%. The population over the last decade of the Black Rhino is such that it is nearing extinction. A tennis tournament starts with 64 participants. Each round, half the players are eliminated. The amount of cell phone subscribers in a small town increases by 75% each year. The price of a stock goes up 12% each year.

Answer 1

Answer: Shasta increases the amount she saves each month by 5%.

The amount of cell phone subscribers in a small town increases by 75% each year.

The price of a stock goes up 12% each year.

Explanation:

The exponential growth happens when a given quantity increases by the constant rate of proportion in each given time period.

• Shasta increases the amount she saves each month by 5%.

This is an example of exponential growth with rate of increase 5%.

• The population over the last decade of the Black Rhino is such that it is nearing extinction.

This shows decrease in population , so this cannot be example of exponential growth.

• A tennis tournament starts with 64 participants. Each round, half the players are eliminated.

This shows decrease in participants , so this cannot be example of exponential growth.

• The amount of cell phone subscribers in a small town increases by 75% each year.

This is an example of exponential growth with rate of increase 75%.

• The price of a stock goes up 12% each year.

This is an example of exponential growth with rate of increase 12%.

Answer 2

Answers: Shasta increases the amount she saves each month by 5%. The amount of cell phone subscribers in a small town increases by 75% each year.The price of a stock goes up 12% each year.
Exponential growth consistently raises the base amount/number to a certain degree. The above answers increase a digit by a number of percentage steadily over a period of time.
