Increasing followers on Instagram
How many followers will you have after 2 weeks? 5 weeks? 8 weeks?
Number of friends after 2 weeks = Number of friends after 5 weeks =Number of friends after 8 weeks =
Exponential growth : The number of friends is increasing at exponential rate over time.
After creating your account, the first week you have two new followers. Every week, the number
of followers you have doubles.
Decreasing Value of Your Car
What will the value of your car be after 2 years? 5 years? 8 years?
Car value after 2 years = Car value after 5 years =Car value after 8 years =
Exponential decay : The car value is decreasing at exponential rate over time.
After buying your car for $18,000, the value decreases by 15% each year.
