An isotope decays radioactively, so the amount decreases exponentially. Initially, there were 28 grams of the isotope, but three years later there were only 7 grams. (You must show work, and simplify your answers, although it's OK to leave e and ln in them.) a. Give a formula for the amount of the isotope after t years. b. How much of the isotope will remain, nine years after the start? c. How long after the start will there be only 14 grams of the isotope left?
