Describe the basic differences between linear growth and exponential growth.
choose the correct answer below.
a.
linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same absolute amount in each unit of time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same relative amount, that is, by the same percentage, in each unit of time.
b.
linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by different, but proportional amounts, in each unit of time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by random amounts in each unit of time.
c.
linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by random amounts in each unit of time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by different, but proportional amounts, in each unit of time.
d.
linear growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same relative amount, that is, by the same percentage, in each unit of time, and exponential growth occurs when a quantity grows by the same absolute amount in each unit of time.
