Conclusion

Thank you for exploring the Exponential and Geometric Growth Living Graph. We hope you have enjoyed the exercise, but specifically, we hope you now feel more comfortable:

• Explaining the variables used in geometric and exponential growth equations.
• Understanding how geometric and exponential equations describe population growth.
• Explaining the difference in the pattern of population growth over time for populations with discrete and overlapping generations.
• Explaining how the growth curves are affected by the time scale of the graph, the initial population size, and the reproductive rate.
