In the exponential growth equation N _ t = N _ 0 e ^ rt , e,...

In the exponential growth equation Nt=N0ert,e,{N}_{t} = {N}_{0}{e}^{rt}, e, represents:

Options

  1. AThe base of number logarithms
  2. BThe base of exponential logarithms
  3. CThe base of natural logarithms
  4. 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 JJ-shaped curve with the equation: Nt=N0ert.{N}_{t} = {N}_{0}{e}^{rt} . In this equation, e is the base of natural logarithms (2.71828).( 2 . 71828 ) .
