Geometric growth model
Classify each statement according to whether it applies to the exponential or
geometric growth model:
assumes growth at specific intervals over a period of time - Correct answer-
Geometric growth model
When the intrinsic growth rate (r) of a population equals zero, the population size
after one year (N1) is _______ the initial population size (N0).
Therefore, the annual growth rate (λ) of the population equals _______. - Correct
answer-When the intrinsic growth rate (r) of a population equals zero, the
population size after one year (N1) is EQUAL TO the initial population size (N0).
Therefore, the annual growth rate (λ) of the population equals 1.
