Question

which of these observations would be consistent with an exponential model of population growth ?
A)the population grew very quickly but then declined
B)the population is observed to increase steadily over time
C)the population is observed to increase at a faster rate as time passes.
D)the population started out large , decreased in size, then became large again

Answer 1

B) The population is observed to increase steadily over time 

The mind behind my answer here states that the question asks for an answer of a (consistent) meaning steady forum.

Answer choice letter B states in fact to increase (steadily) over time meaning a steady consistent of population growth. 

Hope this helps!
Have a great day.

Answer 2

The observation consistent with an exponential model of population growth is the population is observed to increase steadily over time.

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is a function in which both the initial population and both the rate of increase grow with the passage of time. An exponential function as the form $y = a^{x}$

For example, assume the initial population is 100 and the growth rate is 10%,

in year 1, the population would be = 100 x 1.1 = 110

in year 2, the population would be = 100 x 1.1^2 = 121

in year 3, the population would be = 100 x 1.1^3 = 133.1
