Growth Models Discussion, Linear or Exponential Analysis

1. Search the Internet to find a graph or table of values that shows how something is changing over time. The data should be real measured data (not some made-up values for a math problem example or something), and should show something that is changing linear or exponentially.

• The graph or table should show data for at least 4 time periods (years, months, etc.)
• Find data that appears to have a linear or exponential trend.
• Find data that someone hasn’t already used.
• Create a new thread in this forum.
• Paste in the web link (+1 pt for including)
• State whether the data appears to be changing linearly or exponentially, and give a reason (1 pt)
• Find an explicit equation to model the data, clearly defining your variables and showing your work (5 pts)
• Use your model to make a prediction about the future (2 pts)
