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 628 with r = 1.5. Write a recursive sequence that describes this data, where an  denotes the insect density during year n.Find the terms a1 , a2 , a3 , ...., a5 . Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

A. a1 = 628, a2 = 942.00, a3 = 1413.00, a4  = 2119.50, a5  = 3179.25 B. a1 = 628, a2 = 628, a3 = 628, a4  = 628, a5  = 628 C. a1 = 942.00, a2 = 1413.00, a3 = 2119.50, a4  = 3179.25, a5  = 4768.88 D. a1 = 628, a2 = 314.00, a3 = 157.00, a4  = 78.50, a5  = 39.25
