Before answering these questions, play around with the spreadsheet at: http://som.csudh.edu/fac/lpress/presentations/exponentialgrowth.xlsx
1. How does the graph change when the original amount is increased from $1,000 to $10,000? To $1? To $1,000,000?
2. What does the graph look like when annual growth is only 1%? 50%? 100$ 300%?3. If sales grows at only 1 percent per year, is that considered exponential growth?4. If plotted on a linear scale, will 1% growth per year be a straight line or a “hockey
stick?”5. If plotted on a logarithmic scale, will 1% growth per year be a straight line or a “hockey
stick?”6. If automobile gas mileage doubled each year, how many miles per gallon would a
typical car get in ten years?7. The first CPU chip had about 2,300 transistors in 1971. A CPU might have 2.3 billion
today. How many times has the number of transistors doubled since 1971?
