The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the representation of exponential growth or geometric growth, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Exponential Growth**: - Exponential growth, also known as geometric growth, occurs when the number of individuals in a population increases at a constant rate over time, under ideal conditions. 2. **Identify the Key Equation**: - The mathematical representation of exponential growth is given by the equation: \[ \frac{dn}{dt} = rn \] - Here, \( \frac{dn}{dt} \) represents the change in population size over time, \( r \) is the maximum per capita growth rate, and \( n \) is the number of individuals in the population. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - The question provides several options to determine which one correctly represents exponential growth. - The first option is \( n t - 1 \), which does not include the necessary components of the exponential growth equation, making it incorrect. - The second option is \( \frac{dn}{dt} = b - d \), where \( b \) is the birth rate and \( d \) is the death rate. This equation does not represent exponential growth directly but rather the net change in population, making it also incorrect. - The third option, \( \frac{dn}{dt} = r n (k - n)/k \), represents logistic growth, which occurs when resources are limited, thus making it incorrect for exponential growth. - The fourth option, \( \frac{dn}{dt} = kn \), is incorrect as it introduces the variable \( k \), which is not part of the exponential growth equation. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only correct representation of exponential growth is the equation \( \frac{dn}{dt} = rn \). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the second option. ### Final Answer: The exponential growth or geometric growth is represented by: \[ \frac{dn}{dt} = rn \]
