Canada's Bill C-59's truth in advertising law provisions have teeth, can be used by firms and individuals, and hydrogen claims of zero emissions are false.
It means nx, where nb is a fixed constant and X is the variable we’re interested in. By contrast, damage to roads is proportional to x4, which is not exponential.
Thanks. That helps. I guess I’m just used to less precise usage, whether something is linear, greater than linear (exponential) or less than linear (logarithmic). I don’t often hear people talk about polynomial growth.
Yeah I’ve seen the less precise usage before. I push back on it whenever I can, because the difference between exponential growth and quadratic or quartile growth is pretty significant. But it’s especially bad in a context like this where someone specifically asked in what manner something scales, which is a question that (to my mind) clearly indicates a desire for the specific nature of the growth, particularly given the well-known quadratic growth of air resistance with velocity and the less (but still kinda) well-known quartic growth of damage to roads with axel weight.
