Question 6

The graph below shows two different deer populations over the same ten year period. Deer PopulationWhich of the following answers is the best description for the deer population with the greatest growth rate:

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The red line demonstrates an exponential growth rate, because the growth rate for the deer population is itself continuously increasing.
