Question

The number of mice living in a field triples each year.
--~~.
This function represents a(n) Answer ;
exponential growth
increasing linear pattern
: exponential decay
decreasing linear pattern

Answer 1

The situation described—where the number of mice living in a field triples each year—represents **exponential growth**. In exponential growth, the quantity increases by a constant factor (in this case, tripling) over equal time intervals (each year). Therefore, the correct answer is **exponential growth**.
