I really hope that those are not answer choices. If I did it right then there would be 2.252799814*10^15 bacteria on the ship. I am unsure what part the ship speed plays in the problem but since I didnt get any of your choices I assume something went wrong somewhere. The function that would display the growth of the bacteria is 2*2^X.
Hope that helps
