The radioactive substance uranium-240 has a half-life of 14 hours. The amount

A(t) of a sample of uranium-240 remaining (in grams) after t hours is given by the following exponential function.
At = 3900(1/2) t/14
Find the initial amount in the sample and the amount remaining after 60 hours.
Round your answers to the nearest gram as necessary.

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer:

See analyris

Explanation:


Hlug\ in\ the\ value\ of \left.\ t.\right\}


The\ infital\ ampunt\ in\ the\ sample:


t=0_(-1)\ \ \ \ \ f(t)=39\omega\bullet((1)/(2))^(0)/(14)


=3900\ g.


Ater\ bo\ busis.


t=6,\ \ \ \ \ A(t)=2900*((1)/(2))^(60)/(14)


=3900*((1)/(2))^(30)/(7)


\approx 209.

I hope this helps you
