I am confused about questions 8. A and B

8 8. A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w) = 24, 000(1.063)" (a) For the first 5 weeks, is the population increasing on average more or less than 1600 ants per week? Explain how you determined your answer.

Explain why Matthew's claim is too high of a rate. P (+ ) : Allor ) 6. 063 17 ( 1 + r ) = 1.063 = 0, 009 ( 0.009 . 100 :) = 0.9% pe here] 1= 1. 063- 1 r = 0. 063
