Exponential Time Complexity O(2^n) and Exponential Space Complexity O(2^n) both describe algorithms where the time and memory requirements double with each increase in input size. This growth is extremely fast, making these algorithms impractical for large inputs. Both exponential time and space complexities commonly appear in recursive algorithms that explore all possible combinations, such as the naive recursive approach to calculate the Fibonacci sequence.
