Question

PLEASE HELP ME
The graph shows the number of mold spores as a function of time. Select from the drop-down menus to correctly describe the graph.

The graph shows exponential (Growth or Decay)?

The amount of mold spores (Increases or Decreases) as time increases?

Answer 1

As seen, the graph is pointing/increasing upwards. This means that the graph is exponentially increasing. 

You notice there are significantly more spores at 4th hour than the first, therefore, this is an increasing trend. 

Hope I helped :) 

Answer 2

We want to analyze the given graph, we will see that it is exponential growth, so it means that as time passes, the spore population increases.

There are two types of exponential behaviors, exponential growths, where we have an increase that is slow at the beginning and gets faster as the variable increases, and exponential decay, where we have a decrease that is fast at the beginning and gets slower as the variable increases.

Here we can see that we have an increase in the independent variable (the population) and that it is slower at first and then gets faster.

So we can conclude that the population of mold spores is increasing, and it increases exponentially, so we have exponential growth.
