Question

In the exponential growth equation $N _{ t }= N _{0} e ^{ rt }$, e represents:

• A. The base of number logarithms
• B. The base of exponential logarithms
• C. The base of natural logarithms
• D. The base of geometric logarithms

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The base of natural logarithms

Answer 2

The integral form of the exponential growth equation as $Nt = N _{0} e ^{ rt }$
Where,
$Nt =$ Population density after time $t$
$N _{0}=$ Population density at time zero
$r=$ intrinsic rate of natural increase
$e=$ the base of natural logarithms (2.71828)
