......
The half life of strontium 90 is 28 years. Suppose we have a 76 mg sample.

a)find a function that models the mass m(t) remaining after t years.


b)how much of the sample will remain after 70 years?

-
a)
A = 76 * (1/2)^(t / 28)

b)
A = 76 * (1/2)^(70 / 28)
A = 76 * (1/2)^(5/2)
A = 76 * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * sqrt(2)
A = 19 * sqrt(2) / 2
A = 9.5 * sqrt(2)
A = 13.435028842544402963616042879992
