For example, some inexpensive mowers are designed to have a service life of 200 or fewer hours while pricier mowers typically are designed to last 500 or more hours. Therefore, a lawnmowerâs life expectancy can be based on how often and how long it is used.
exponential growth. Increase in number or size, at a constantly growing rate. It is one possible result of a reinforcing feedback loop that makes a population or system grow (escalate) by increasingly higher amounts. Compound interest is an example of exponential growth. Use 'exponential growth' in a Sentence.
Exponential Growth. If a population has a constant birth rate through time and is never limited by food or disease, it has what is known as exponential growth. With exponential growth the birth rate alone controls how fast (or slow) the population grows. Click the following button to run an applet you can use to experiment with exponential growth. If you are accessing this lesson over a slower network connection it may take several seconds for the applet to appear.
