Answer:
a.

b.

Step-by-step explanation:
a. From the information provided, we can deduce that the population death's follows a Geometric sequence in the form
where
and 
#Since the population is reducing,
can is obtained as 
#The
term is obtained using the formula
, given a=1200
The number of ants alive after every month (in first 4 months)

The ant's alive after 4 months is obtained as the value of 

Hence, 936 ants are alive after 4 months.
b. As with the above question, the kitten population follows a geometric sequence:
.
#Since it's a growing population , the common ration is the sum of 100% + the growth rate,
and
and 
The population after 4weeks will be:

72ab-36bc+48bd
Factor out 12b from the expression
12b x(6a-3c+4d)
Answer : 12b x(6a-3c+4d)
The answer is 62.5 :::::::::
If you would like to calculate the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean from the following averages, you can calculate this using the following steps:
averages: 56.4, 59.8, 55.8
the number of values: 3
arithmetic mean:
(56.4 + 59.8 + 55.8) / 3 = 57.33
geometric mean:
(56.4 * 59.8 * 55.8)^(1/3) = 57.31
harmonic mean:
3 / (1/56.4 + 1/59.8 + 1/55.8) = 57.28
