Problem 4 Got It? A population of insects triples every week. The number of insects is modeled by the expression below, where w is the number of weeks after the population is measured.
Evaluate the expression for w = -2, w = 0, and w = 1. Match the weeks below with their related populations. Not all populations will be used.

  • w = -2
  • w = 0
  • w = 1
  • 400 insects
  • 600 insects
