    The answer is 24,576.

    P (x) = P (0) * nˣ

    P (x) - the final population after period x

    P (0) - the initial population

    n - the growth factor in decimal

    x - period of time

    P (6) = ?

    P (0) = 6

    n = 4

    x = 6 months

    P (6) = 6 * 4⁶

    P (6) = 6 * 4096

    P (6) = 24,567
