During the worst periods of hyperinflation in a certain country, the price of food increased at a rate of 15% per month. State whether this increase was linear or exponential. If your food bill was $150 in one month during this period, what was it three months later?
This was exponential as the increased rate was at 15% per month
You can understand the difference through some numerical examples. Take an arbitrary linear and exponential functions and try to increase them and see what happens.
E.g.,
Linear function, f(x)=10xf(x)=10x
Exponential function, g(x)=2x
Food bill after 3 months = 150*(1.15)^3 = $228.13

Can you assist me with this answer: During periods of hyperinflation, prices increase rapidly over short periods of time. One of the worst cases of hyperinflation in history occurred in Zimbabwe in 2008 where prices doubled every day. If that rate continued for just 7 days, how much would a French baguette cost after 7 days if the cost at the beginning of the week was $0.6? The cost after 7 days will be
a) You are studying a population of aphids with an initial
population size of 500. During a one-month period, you observe 40
births and 15 deaths in the population. Estimate the value of r for
that month, and predict the population size in three months (from
the initial population size). Remember that r is the per capita
rate of population increase. (Assume exponential population
growth).
b) Imagine you are growing ciliates in a laboratory flask. The
carrying capacity is 1000...
