The following could be real-life examples of exponential growth:

​ (a)   ​ (b)   ​ (c)  

• population growth
• cell division
• retirement account growth
• GPA
• time
• a ball being thrown into the air
• the speed at which you run

Based on what you see from this graph, the best possible function to match it would have to be:

A bizarre feature of ALL exponential graphs is that they have a(n):

• horizontal asymptote

• vertical asymptote

• oblique asymptote

• focus
