Once an antibiotic is introduced to bacteria, the number of bacteria decreases exponentially. For example, beginning with 1 million bacteria, the amount present $t$ days from the time penicillin is introduced is given by the function $A(t)=1,000,000(2)^{-t / 5}$. Rounding to the nearest thousand, determine how many bacteria are present after a. 2 days b. 1 week c. 2 weeks
