Question

There are 1000 lions in the wild.Each year the number is halved. Is this linear or exponential?
Exponential
Neither
Quadractic
Linear

Answer 1

The situation you're describing, where the number of lions is halved each year, is an example of exponential decay. In this case, the quantity decreases by a constant proportion (50%) each year rather than a constant amount. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**Exponential**
