Solve the problem.The annual population density of a species of insect after n years is modeled by a sequence. Suppose that the initial density of insects is 654 with r = 1.4. Write a recursive sequence that describes this data, where an  denotes the insect density during year n.Find the terms a1 , a2 , a3 , ...... until you are able to interpret the results.

A. The population density increases by 60% per year.
B. The population density increases by 40% per year.
C. The population density decreases by 60% per year.
D. The population density decreases by 40% per year.
