Question

If dN/dt = rN,then any increase in the population will be _______
A) Linear
B) Logistic
C) Exponential
D) S-shaped

Accepted Answer

The equation dN/dt = rN represents exponential growth, where N is the population size and r is the growth rate. This means that any increase in the population size will also increase at an exponential rate. This growth is not limited by environmental factors or carrying capacity, which are factors that are considered in logistic or S-shaped growth. Therefore, the population is expected to grow exponentially over time.
