4. A population grows exponentially from 500 to 800 in 4 years. Which expression gives the growth factor b?
a. 300/500
b. 800 - 500
c. 4√(500/800)
d. 4√(800/500)

Answer

d. 4√(800/500)

The growth factor b for exponential growth is calculated as the nth root of the final value divided by the initial value, where n is the number of periods. Here, it is the 4th root of 800/500.
