Question 1186732
.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
(a)  N(t) = {{{240*2^t}}},  t is the time in years.


(b)  N(5) = {{{240*2^5}}} = 240*32 = 7680 mice after 5 years.
</pre>

Solved.
