The use of linear and exponential models to predict growth patterns in science and medicine is not new. However, scientists and researchers continue to find new applications of the models to explain and predict growth patterns. Seiki Hamada and Makoto Takamiya of Japan have studied the growth patterns of a specific heart aneurism to better predict the estimated growth of an aneurism as well as to assist in determining when to recommend surgery. Hamada and Takamiya have found that aortic aneurisms grow in an exponential pattern rather than the hoped for linear pattern. What shape best describes the graph of an exponential model? A. A curve that starts slowly but then grows rapidly B. A straight line that is decreasing in value C. A curve that starts rapidly but then grows slowly D. A straight line that is increasing in value
