At time 0s, a population has 2 members. At time 2s, there are 4 members. At time 6s, there are 16 members. What type of growth is being experienced by this population?

Exponential Growth....members are increasing to its double value within every 2s.

Exponential growth is seen

Given that initial population, at time 0 members =2

i.e. P0 =2

P(2) = 4

In 2 minutes it became 4 times

And in 6 minutes it became 16 members

P(0) =2

P(2) =4

P(6) =16

i.e. every 2 minutes the population doubles

Hence exponential growth of population doubling in 2 minutes

P(t) = [tex]2^{\frac{t}2}[/tex]

will be the function representing the population at time t.
