Expert Solution
Step 1

#> To solve these questions we need to have a few ideas about the Linear and Exponential growth model.

Linear growth :- In general we can say that the growth rate is always same no matter how long the object growing.

Exponential growth :- Here the growth rate increases in speed over time. It means that the growth rate continues to increase forever.
