quadratically

Raised to two

In a manner involving squares or second powers.

In mathematics, a function grows quadratically when its output increases with the square of the input—double the input, quadruple the output.

The algorithm's runtime increases quadratically with the size of the dataset.

The term appears most often in computing and mathematics to describe rates of growth or relationships between variables.
