Question

The formula to calculate the number of individuals in a population undergoing exponential growth is N = rt + ln $N_0$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The correct formula to calculate the number of individuals in a population undergoing exponential growth is $N_t=N_0{e}^{rt}$. Here $N_t$ stands for number of individuals at time t. $N_0$ is the initial count of individuals and ‘r’ is the rate at which the population is growing (growth rate).
