What the heck is exponential growth?
31What is exponential growth and what does it look like?? Let's learn about it by comparing it to the "smiley graph", aka a parabola aka the x squared graph!
Why does exponential growth matter? Because it is a helpful model that crops up in population growth and in things like this pandemic we are all dealing with right now. Knowing what it means helps us make more reasonable, informed decisions so we can protect ourselves and our loved ones.
P.S. e = 2.72 (or 2.71828...) :)
