exponential growth If y = Aekt, where A>0 and k>0 are constants, and t denotes time, y is said to be exhibiting exponential growth. This occurs when dy/dt = ky; that is, when the rate of change of the quantity y at any time is proportional to the value of y at that time. Any quantity with exponential growth ultimately outgrows any polynomial growth. Compare exponential decay.
