Detailed explanation-1: -Malthus published a book in 1798 stating that populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted. This accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called exponential growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exponential growth occurs when the individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate. As the population grows, the number of people who are reproducing keeps increasing. This causes the population to grow faster and faster. Exponential growth does not continue in natural populations for very long.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exponential growth takes place when a population’s per capita growth rate stays the same, regardless of population size, making the population grow faster and faster as it gets larger.
