Question

Select the statements that describe exponential growth.

a. Exponential growth is common in many circumstances throughout nature.
b. Exponential growth is the rapid and unrestricted increase of a population.
c. Exponential growth is population growth limited by natural resources in the environment.
d. Exponential growth occurs when populations level off and stop growing.
e. Exponential growth occurs when a population increases at a fixed percentage of every generation.

Answer 1

the answer is B

Explanation:

cause exponensial means like a crazy amount very quickly

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

e. Exponential growth occurs when a population increases at a fixed percentage of every generation.

Explanation:

Exponential growth occurs when the amount of increase is proportional to the population. That is, the increase is a fixed percentage of the population in any given time period (generation).

Many populations appear to have exponential growth when resources are effectively unlimited. The growth can be rapid, but isn't always. At some point, the population generally finds a limit to its growth, which then ceases to be exponential.

A function describing population growth that is jointly proportional to population and available resources is called a logistic function. It has an exponential component, but is not an exponential function.
