Usage Note
Exponencial is used both in mathematics (referring to a function of the form eˣ) and loosely in everyday speech to mean 'extremely rapid.' In informal contexts speakers say crecimiento exponencial (exponential growth) to dramatize any fast increase, though mathematicians reserve it for a specific curve.
