You could plot the function $e^{rt}$ for different values of $t$ with $r$ being your annual exponential growth rate. Then you could evaluate this function at $t=10$ or $t=1000$. |

Plot in with a log scale on the y axis. Then the line will be straight and it will be easy to see where it is going. |
