QUESTION 1

  1. Determine whether the growth (or decay) is linear or exponential, and answer the associated question.
  2. The population of Scoville is increasing at a rate of 405 people per year. If the population is 696 today, what will it be in three years?
  3. Increasing by absolute number = > Linear
  4. y = b + mx => today + rate year
  5. population in next three year = 696 + 405 x 3 =
  6. Exponential; 337,153,941 peopleLinear; 1911 peopleLinear; 2493 peopleExponential; 66,430,821 people
