7 Project ll One of the most common models of population growth is the exponential model. These models use functions of the torm p(t) : po€rt‚ wherep6 is the initial population and r > 0 is the rate constant. Because exponential models describe unbounded growth‚ they are unrealistic over long periods of time. Due to shortages of space and resources‚ all populations must eventually have decreasing grovtrth rates. Logistic growth models allow for exponential growth when the population is small
