To determine which town(s) demonstrate exponential growth, we need to look for a characteristic pattern in their population growth over time.
Exponential growth is typically indicated by a curve that becomes steeper as time progresses, meaning that the population increases faster as it grows (the rate of growth itself increases). On a graph, this would look like a smooth curve that rises steadily, rather than a straight line (which would indicate linear growth).
Given the options you've provided and based on the question, it sounds like Town A and Town D might exhibit this characteristic. However, without the actual graph or more specific information about the population data for each town, I can't definitively state which towns demonstrate exponential growth.
If Town A shows a curve that starts to steepen over time, then it likely exhibits exponential growth. The same goes for Town D.
Among the options provided, if either Town A or Town D has an exponential growth pattern, then the correct answer would be:
- only Town D
- only Town A
- both Town A and Town D
Without more specific data or a visual representation of the graphs, I can't conclusively give you an answer, but reviewing the graphs you mentioned should help clarify which towns experience exponential growth.
