A certain breed of mouse was introduced onto a small island with an initial population of 240 mice,
and scientists estimate that the mouse population is doubling every year.
(a) Find a function N that models the number of mice after t years.
(b) Estimate the mouse population after 5 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a)  N(t) = ,  t is the time in years.


(b)  N(5) =  = 240*32 = 7680 mice after 5 years.
