    y = 67108864 rabbits

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation for growth is

    y = a (b) ^ (t)

    where a is the initial amount

    b is the growth rate and

    t is the time in months

    2 years = 24 months

    Assuming the population doubles at the end of the 1st month

    Substituting in what we know

    y = 4 (2) ^ (t)

    y = 4 * 2 ^ 24

    y = 4*16777216

    y = 67108864 rabbits

    If they do not double at the end of the first month and wait until the second month, divide this number by 2

    y = 4 (2) ^ (t-1)

    y = 4 * 2 ^ 23

    y = 4*8388608

    y = 33554432 rabbits
