Create a function that models this scenario. Then solve it. There is 500 grams (g), of radioactive material. It's half-life is 5,700 years, (t.)How many grams will there be in 20,000 years?

\begin{gathered} g(t)=500e^(5700-t) \\ \\ \text{Thus } \\ g(20000)=500e^(5700-20000) \\ g(20000)\approx0 \end{gathered}
\text{ there will be 0 grams!}
