Visualizing Constant Economic Growth
A country's economic output was $500 billion in the year 2000. The economy grows at a steady rate, causing the output to double every 25 years. First, calculate the expected economic output for the year 2050. Second, describe the shape of the line that would be formed if you plotted the economic output for the years 2000, 2025, and 2050 on a graph that uses a ratio scale for the vertical axis, and explain why it has this shape.

An economist plots a country's economic output from 1920 to 2020 on a graph. The vertical axis uses a ratio scale (where equal vertical distances represent equal percentage changes), and the horizontal axis represents time. The resulting line on the graph is an upward-sloping curve that becomes progressively steeper over the period. What is the most accurate conclusion about the country's economic growth rate?
Analyzing Historical Economic Data
A country's economic output is observed to grow by exactly 3% every year for three consecutive decades. If this data were plotted on a graph with a ratio scale on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, the resulting line would be a curve that becomes progressively steeper.
