A certain type of lily plant is growing in a pond in such a way that the number of plants is growing exponentially. The number of plants, n(t), in the pond at time, t, in months, is modeled by the function n(t) = 50(3t).
Read each statement about the exponential function. Using one card at a time, decide if you agree or disagree about the statement.

The lily plant population decreases as the number of months increases.
The lily plant population tripled each month.
The number of lily plants will always range from 50 to infinity.
There is no maximum value.
There were 36,450 lily plants after 6 months.
The minimum value is 3 lily plants.
All real numbers is a reasonable domain for this scenario.
n(t) = 1350 after 3 months
There were initially 50 lily plants in the pond.
n(2) = 4050
