In the exponential growth equation N t = N 0 e rt ,   e , represents:
Options
- AThe base of number logarithms
- BThe base of exponential logarithms
- CThe base of natural logarithms
- DThe base of geometric logarithms
Correct answer
C. The base of natural logarithms
Step-by-step solution
The equation describes the exponential or geometric growth pattern of a population. This results in the typical J -shaped curve with the equation: N t = N 0 e rt . In this equation, e is the base of natural logarithms ( 2 . 71828 ) .
