SOLUTION: the element decays at the rate of S(t)=se^-0.036t, where t is time in yrs and s the initial size in grams. If you have a 83-gram piece of this element how many grams will have in 2

Question 598934: the element decays at the rate of S(t)=se^-0.036t, where t is time in yrs and s the initial size in grams. If you have a 83-gram piece of this element how many grams will have in 2 yrs from now? round to nearest tenth of a gram.

Find with a calc
S(t) = 83 * .93053
S(t) = 77.2 gr after 2 yrs
