Question

Which of these situations can be modeled by an exponential function?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) A herd of lions whose numbers triple every decade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situations that can be modeled by exponential functions:

A situation can be modeled by exponential functions when the change is a multiplication or a division, not a sum or subtractions.

In this question:

In option A, C and D the measures are a sum or subtractions, as the rate of change is always the same. So it rests option B as the answer, as tripling is multiplying by 3.
