Comparing Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Functions

Sally and Sam study turtle populations on various islands, observing different growth patterns. Island F shows linear growth, while Island G exhibits exponential growth. Sam's research on Islands P and Q reveals exponential and quadratic growth, respectively. The video explains how to identify these growth models and concludes that exponential growth will eventually surpass other types.
