It seems that you are referring to a specific equation related to wasp population dynamics or behavior, but the equation itself is not provided in your question. To analyze the relationship between time (t) and the variable (w), I would need more context, including the form of the equation or any relevant information regarding the nature of the variables involved.
However, I can provide a general guideline on how to interpret the statements:
- If the relationship is exponential growth, then "As t increases, w increases quickly at first and then slowly" could apply.
- If the relationship is logistic growth or if damping occurs, the first statement about slow then fast growth might be true.
- If there's a negative correlation (such as a population undergoing decline), then the statements regarding decreases would need to be examined similarly.
If you provide the specific equation or details about the dynamics it describes, I can help you determine which statement is true.
