The following figure has four curves namely A, B, C and D. Study the figure and answer the item that follows. Which curve indicates the exponential growth?
- A.A
- B.B
- C.C
- D.D
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. B
Exponential growth is characterized by a rate of growth that is proportional to the current size. This means the larger the quantity, the faster it grows. Visually, this is represented by a curve that starts to rise slowly and then becomes increasingly steep over time, exhibiting a J-shaped pattern when plotted against time.
