A certain population of bacteria doubles every 10 minutes. If the number of bacteria in the population initially was 10^5, then what was the number in the population 40 minutes later?	Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 2(10^5)
B) 4(10^5)
C) (2^4)(10^5)
D) (10^4)(10^5)
E) (10^5)^4
Every 10 minutes, the population is double the previous population.   In 40 minutes, the population doubles 4 times.   The population then is 2^4*10^5.   The answer is (2^4)(10^5).
