What is exponential growth?
Think about how bacteria multiply.
What does the 'r' in the formula dN/dt = rN represent?
Consider how quickly populations can reproduce.
What shape represents exponential growth in a graph?
Visualize how populations grow when resources are abundant.
In the equation dN/dt = rN, what does 'N' represent?
Consider the group being measured.
Imagine a population of 100 bacteria that doubles every hour. Calculate the population size after 5 hours.
Think about how doubling works over several hours.
If an invasive species introduces a population of 200 and experiences a growth rate of r = 0.3, determine the population size after 10 time units.
Consider how exponential growth compounds over time when using the growth rate.
