What does exponentially mean? I learned about Linear functions in my math class. Is that the same thing?
No, Linear Functions grow at a constant rate of change.

Exponential Functions grow at an increasing rate over time.

Are there 16 Zombies now?
Like five minutes ago?
Wow, that means the zombies are doubling.when were there only 8?

You can model the growth of the zombies byy=(2)x/5where x is in minutes
Apparently, the Zombies are like doubling every 5 minutes.In ten minutes there will be 64 zombies
