The formula for exponential population growth is

1. dN/dt = rN
2. rN / dN = dt
3. dN / dt = r / N
4. dt / dN = rN

Correct answer: dN/dt = rN

Solution

In exponential population growth, the instantaneous change in population is proportional to the current population size. That relationship is written as dN/dt = rN, where r is the growth rate constant.
