Population Growth
Growth
Growth
Growth can be thought of as when something gets larger over time. This might be the population of a particular species, the amount of money in a bank account or the number of people using Seneca.
Linear growth
Linear growth
- Linear growth is when something increases by a steady amount over set time periods.
- E.g. a cinema gets 100 extra visitors each month.
- If they have 200 visitors in month 1, they will get 300 visitors in month 2, 400 visitors in month 3, 500 visitors in month 4, etc.
Exponential growth
Exponential growth
- Exponential growth is when something increases by a multiplier (or percentage) over set time periods.
- E.g. the number of people playing Fortnite increases by 2× each month.
- If they have 200 users in month 1, they will get 400 users in month 2, 800 users in month 3, 1,600 users in month 4, etc.
Exponential growth in bacteria
Exponential growth in bacteria
- Populations of bacteria can grow exponentially.
- This means the number of bacteria increases by a set multiplier over a given time period.
Exponential growth in bacteria 2
Exponential growth in bacteria 2
- The population of an example colony of bacteria starts at one.
- If the population of bacteria doubles every hour you'd get the exponential growth seen above.
