Is the termite population growing by the same factor each month?

• Yes, because it adds the same amount each time.

• No, because it triples each time.

• Yes, because it multiplies by the same amount each time.

• No, because it is linear.

Pick the equation that is exponential growth

• y=2(0.5)^x
• y = 0.5(2)^x
