What is the exponential model of population growth?
Answers
Increase in number or size, at a constantly growing rate. It is one possible result of a reinforcing feedback loop that makes a population or system grow (escalate) by increasingly higher amounts. Compound interest is an example of exponential growth.Remember that the original exponential formula was y = abx. You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions, the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r). The growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.
This accelerating pattern of increasing population size is called exponential growth. ... Exponential population growth: When resources are unlimited, populations exhibit exponential growth, resulting in a J-shaped curve. When resources are limited, populations exhibit logistic growth
