4) Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells every hour, thus
tripling the number of cells. If we start with four bacteria,
How many hours will it take for the bacteria to reach ten thousand?

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
