If a population growing exponentiatIy, doubles in size in 3 years, what is the intrinsic rate of increase (r) of the population?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the intrinsic rate of increase (r) of a population that doubles in size in 3 years, we can use the formula for exponential growth: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Exponential Growth Formula**: The formula for exponential growth is given by: \[ N_t = N_0 e^{rt} \] ...
