The population of a certain kind of bacteria doubles in size every 5 minutes. The current number of bacteria in the population, N, is equal to the product of the initial number of bacteria, I, and 2 to the power of n, where n is the number of times the population has doubled. Initially, 599,737 bacteria are in a petri dish. How many bacteria are in the petri dish after 15 minutes?
