In a certain lake, it is estimated that the fish population has been doubling in size every 80 weeks. Write an exponential growth equation of the form y=ae^kt that models the growth of the fish population, where t is given in weeks, if the initial population was 5000.
----------------------
A(t) = 5000*2^(t/80) where t is given in weeks.
