The population of a species over a period of time will change according to some rate of change.
a car going from stoplight to next intersection accelerates at a positive rate of velocity change
There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity. The growth of a population growth under ideal conditions (with a positive exponent) and radioactive decay (with a negative exponent) are common example.There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity.
