Question

Without any limiting factors, a population may grow ____ ?

Answer 1

infinitely

Answer 2

you sure ? cause im about to retake a test and i need to get this right

Answer 3

If you're talking about the typical growth model, there's no limit, but there may be one "demographic explosion" in your model, where the function appears as undefined but is, in fact, infinite.

Answer 4

well i just looked to make sure they didnt give me a picture this is all they asked .. so you believe its infinitely ?

Answer 5

Mathematical models establish that growth declines at a certain point while population increases, that is, the birth rate (beta) decreasing for an increasing population (P).
If we aren't accounting fighting for food, space, or any other kind of resource, then I'd pretty much say it is, in fact, infinitely. I'd wait for a second opinion on this.

Answer 6

thank you bothh so muchh !

Answer 7

I would have said exponentially, but i suppose infinitely works too

Answer 8

infinitely is wrong. The answer is Exponentially. I know because I took this same test.

Answer 9

My teacher graded infinitely correct

Answer 10
