Question

I do not know how to set this question up, how would I do it to get the correct answers?

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?
