The question as text
4. The population of rare tropical insects on an island follows a geometric model such that the population multiplies by k from one month to the next. For example if k = 2 the population would double each month. This situation can be expressed as either Pn+1 = kPn or Pn = P0 kn. P0 is the initial population. k is a constant. Pn is the population after n months.
