Shouri, whether or not it is continuous growth, the problem states that the population of black moth increases by 4% each month. That means that the ratio of the population in one month to the previous month should be 1.04.
If they're just learning exponential functions and not the calculus involving them I would think that they're looking for the 1.04^t approach.
