document.write( "and finds that it doubles every 3 hours. 
\n" );
document.write( "The estimated count after 6 hours was 10000
\n" );
document.write( "a) What was the initial size of the culture at time t=0?

\n" );
document.write( "   2500 ⇒ 5000 ⇒ 10000   doubling every 3 hour
\n" );
document.write( "b) What was the estimated count after 1 day?
\n" );
document.write( "     x = 2500*2^(24/3) = 640,000
