Question

a population is growing at a rate of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. which type of growth does this describe?
logistic
negative
linear
exponential

Explanation:

The sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 has a common ratio. Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. In exponential growth, the quantity increases by a constant percentage or factor over time. Here, the factor is 2. Logistic growth has an S - shaped curve and levels off at a carrying capacity. Negative growth means the quantity is decreasing. Linear growth has a constant difference between consecutive terms.

Answer:

exponential
