The population of a certain species of insects is x now. It becomes y times itself after 1 week. What will be its population after 2 weeks?

Match the items on the right to the items on the left.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Initial population of insects = x.

Since the population of the insects becomes y times of itself after one week.

Population of the insects after 1 week = y * Initial population

= y * x

Population of the insects after 2 weeks = y * population after 1 week

= y * (y * x ) =

y^{2} x
