C) 25 weeks
Explanations:
The model representing the population of the species of insects

An exponential growth is of the form:

where P₀ is the original population
t is the time taken in weeks
Comparing the two equations:

952 insects are in the original colony
B. The number of insects that will be in the colony after 20 weeks
Substituting t = 20 into the function given

C) If the population, P = 20000
