Reflection:
Based on class discussion: Does our data collected
show an exponential line over 48 hours? Why or
why not?

No because once you graph all the data it end up a straight line. Which
means that it is linear. If it weren’t linear and it was exponential then
it would start to go up.
Make a prediction: How much data would we need
to show the world growth as exponential?

Well if you look at the graph you can see that i kind of looks like it
wants to start going up. So maybe if we put all of the data we got from
all 48 hours it could start going up, then eventually it’ll become
exponential.
Conduct research: Over what interval can we start
to see exponential growth in world population?

Over the 4th interval we can start seeing a little bit of change. It looks
like it went up. If we add more than for surely if it looks like it’s going
up it is going to go up. Then it wouldn’t be linear. It would be
exponential.

Calculate the rate of change for each of the
following intervals (show all work): [1950, 1975,],
[1975, 2000], [2000, 2015], [2015, 2030], [2030,
2050], [1950, 2050]
Connect (draw a line) and label the intervals (with
the rate of change) on the graph.
Describe each interval and how the steepness of the
interval on the graph is related to population
growth (exponential growth). Example of description: From
2015 to 2030, Cambodia’s population grew at a rate of 1.2 million
people per year. This interval relates to the population growth of
Cambodia by….
