If the population of an ant hill doubles every 10 days and there are currently 40 ants living in the ant hill what will the ant hill population be in 20 days.
--------------------------------------------
A(t) = Ao*2^(t/10)
------------------------
A(20) = 40*2^(20/10)
---
A(20) = 40*2^2
---
A(20) = 40*4 = 160 ants
==========================
