Estimates of A or r are often used to determine how rapidly
a population is growing (or declining) at various points in
time. For a population that is growing exponentially, we can
estimate the exponential growth rate (r) using the following
equation:
where N(0) is the population size at the beginning of a time
period, t is the length of the time period, and N(t) is the
population size at the end of the period. In this exercise,
we'll use this technique and the data in the table to
examine the growth rate of the world's human population
at different points in time.
