For this case we have an equation of the form:
f (w) = A * (b) ^ w
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
w: number of weeks
Substituting values we have:
f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w
Answer:
the beetle population can be determined after a number of weeks, w, with the following function:
f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w
