The formula for exponential population growthis
✓
$dN/dt = rN$
B
$dt/dN = rN$
C
$dN/rN = dt$
D
$rN/dN = dt.$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$dN/dt = rN$
a (a) : 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.
