Question

Bernard is concerned about the graph of growth of an invasive marine species because the population growth started out slow but now is doubling every month. What is Bernard MOST likely observing?(1 point)
Responses

A. exponential growth, which applies the function f(x) = a^x

B. linear growth, which applies the function f(x) = a^x

C. quadratic growth, which applies the function f(x) = a^x

D. standard deviation, which applies the function f(x) = a^x

Answer 1

Bernard is most likely observing:

**A. exponential growth, which applies the function f(x) = a^x**

Exponential growth is characterized by a constant percentage increase over time, which fits the description of the population doubling every month.
