    The function is:

    f (x) = 1,000 · 2^x

    x is the number of weeks.

    1. y - intercept is : y = 1,000.

    2. The y-intercept represents the cicada population at the start (for x = 0).

    f (0) = 1,000 · 2^0 = 1,000 · 1 = 1,000.

    3. The 2 in the function shows that cicada population doubles every week.
