Formel
y = a × e^(kt), where a is initial value, k is growth rate (as decimal), t is time. Doubling time = ln(2)/k.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is exponential growth?
Growth where the rate is proportional to the current value, creating a J-shaped curve.
What is the growth rate?
Enter the rate as a percentage. For example, 5 means 5% continuous growth rate.
What is doubling time?
The time it takes for the quantity to double: ln(2)/k.
