The formula for exponential population growth is:
Correct answer: A. dN/dt = rN
- A. dN/dt = rN
- B. dt/dN = rN
- C. dN/rN = d
- D. rN/dN = d
Explanation
Nearly all populations will tend to grow exponentially as long as there are resources available. The formula for exponential population growth is dN/ dt = rN. In this equation d is the rate of change, N is the number of existing individuals, r is the intrinsic growth rate, t is time, and dN/dt is the rate of change in population size.
