1: Write the equation for exponential growth- define each part. (What do you need to know?)
N=Population size, r (growth rate) = (Births-Deaths)/N
dN/dt
2: In a “stable” population, the growth rate: Constant
3: What does “d” mean in this equation?
D means change in
4: How could you easily find the value of an exponential growth curve?
You can find it by entering the initial number and the growth into the formula
5: Why is exponential growth also called a “J-shaped” curve?
It's called J-shaped because it's shaped like a j
6: What is the algebraic solution to exponential growth? Write the equation and define each.
N(t) = N(1+r)^t N=Population size, r=growth rate, t=time
7: In exponential growth, “Is the sky the limit?”
What are some of the factors that inhibit population growth?
It is the limit in exponential growth. Some factors that inhabit population growth is food, water, land, and other resources
