3. A biologist is studying the growth of bacteria cells in a culture. She begins with 10 cells of bacteria in a nutrition-rich environment. For the first 24 hours of the study, the cells double in population every hour. The biologist writes the following equation to describe this population growth: y = 10 * 2t Where t is the number of hours since the study began, and y is the number of bacteria cells. a. How many bacteria are in the culture after 5 hours? b. At what time will there be 81,920 cells in the culture?
