Describe the behavior of P(t) as t → +∞?.

b) Initially 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was present. After 5 hours
the mass had decreased by 4%. If the rate of decay is proportional to the
amount of the substance present at time t, find the amount remaining after
24 hours and also determine the half-life of the radioactive substance.
