Given:
The diameter of cloud-water droplet is
The diameter of pinhead is 0.001.
Explanation:
Divide the dimater of cloud-water droplet by dimater of pinhead to determine the times as great is the diameter of a pinhead as the diameter of a cloud-water droplet .
So diameter of a pin-head is 100 times the diameter of water-droplet.
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
