Growth Models Discussion, Linear or Exponential Analysis
Search the Internet to find a graph or table of values that shows how something is changing over time. The data should be real measured data (not some made-up values for a math problem example or something), and should show something that is changing linear or exponentially.
The graph or table should show data for at least 4 time periods (years, months, etc.)
Find data that appears to have a linear or exponential trend.
Find data that someone hasn’t already used.
