Describe the basic differences between linear growth and exponential growth.

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.

What is a doubling time?

The time required for each doubling in exponential growth.

describe how the overall growth rate is related to birth and death rates.

The overall growth rate is the difference between the birth rate and the death rate.

The doubling time of a population of flies is 8 hours. By what factor does the population increase in 31 hours? exponential notation 

2^3.875

How do today's birth and death rates are decreased compare to those in the past why is human population growing? 

Birth rates have decreased along with death rates. However, the human population is still growing because the death rates have fallen even more dramatically than the birth rates.

Suppose a single bacterium is placed in a bottle at 11:00 am. It grows and at 11:01 divides into two bacteria. These two bacteria each grow and at 11:02 divide into four bacteria, which grow and at 11:03 divide into eight bacteria, and so on. Now, suppose the bacteria continue to double every minute and the bottle is full at 12:00. How many bacteria are in the bottle at 11:46 using exponential notation?

The 2020 Census found a U.S. population of about 330million. Starting from this value, use the current U.S. annual growth rate of 0.6(which includes immigration as well as births and deaths) to estimate U.S. population in 2060. Use the approximate doubling time formula. 

418 million
