Imagine that at a particular time, a kitchen counter has on it 10 bacteria and that this type of bacteria doubles in number every 15 minutes. The exponential function A (t) = 10e0.04621t is a good model for predicting the number of bacteria A (t) in the population t minutes from some particular start time. How many bacteria could be predicted to be on the counter 1.5 hours later? Round to the nearest whole number.
