Natural Base Exponential Function

I understand why M=N/R, because:

I don't understand why R was added to the exponents. I mean I do, because we need to specify a rate. I guess what I mean is, how was it added mathematically? I have been trying to figure this out all day. For the most part I understand it, except for that.

Re: Natural Base Exponential Function

That was easy! I found another math book online that explains it better. BUT! I still have no idea how my math book is trying to do it! This online book had me replace N with MR, where my book is does M=N/R. I understand why the book does that, but I can't figure out how the R ends up in the exponent and the book doesn't explain why.
