In the equation N t = N O e rt , what does Not represent?

Step-by-step solution

The above equation describes the exponential or geometric growth pattern of a population (Figure 11.3) and results in a J-shaped curve when we plot N in relation to time. If you are familiar with basic calculus, you can derive the integral form of the exponential growth equation asN t = N O e rt where N t = Population density after time t N O = Population density at time zeror = intrinsic rate of natural increasee = the base of natural logarithms (2.71828)No population of any species in nature has at its disposal u
