The formula for exponential growth is V = S x (1+R) T, where S is the starting value, R is the interest rate, T is the number of periods that have elapsed, and V is the current value.

This formula shows how an economic growth rate is calculated. Note that for this example, we'll look at GDP though the formula can be used for other types of measurements mentioned above.

TB's behavior challenges fundamental bacterial biology as it's been thought that ribosomes - which are sites of protein synthesis in the cell - drive cell growth rates, but our work suggests that ...
