the population of tha bacteria culture doubles every 2
mins.approximately how many min it will take for the population to
grow from 1000 to 500000 bacteria.

• 18 mins.
  
  initially 1000
  After 2*1 minutes .. 2000= 1000*2^1
  After 2*2=4 mins-- 4000..... 1000*2^2
  After 2*3 = 6 mins .... 8000 .. 1000*2^3
  ..
  ..
  After 2*n mins = 1000*2^n
  500,000 ia approx 1000*2^9 mins
  so it will take 2*9=18 mins to grow up to 500,000.
