Answer:
This is an exponential function:
- A(s) = 2^s, where A- population of alien's, s - number of splits (or hours)
For the alien population become larger than 79942, time required:
- 2^s > 79942
- log 2^s > log 79942
- s > log 79942/ log 2
- s > 16
17 hours
For the alien population become larger than 330232606, time required:
- 2^s > 330232606
- log 2^s > log 330232606
- s > log 330232606 / log 2
- s > 28
29 hours
