.
If
, it's <u>not</u> a proportion.

Here we have two pairs of numbers:
40,10 and 32,8.
Written As a <u>proportion</u>, they <em>look like</em> :

Hope this made sense to you :)

Jim is 16 because take away 21-5=16.Now Cindy 21-4=17.Cindy is 17.Jim is 16.
The percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent 
where 'a' is a constant and a>1
We have exponential function:

If we compare with

If 1+r > 1
1.362 > 1
So the growth rate r is
1 + r = 1.362
r = 0.362
r = 0.362×100
r = 36.2%
Thus, the percentage rate of increase is 36.2% and the exponential function represent the growth.
