(A)Find the amount present after 12 days
-------------------------------------------
This means, find A when t=12, or find .
, not being sure how much accuracy your given values really allow.
(B)Find the half-life of the material
-------------------------------------------
When A(t) is 3000.
, and you want to find this t.
years, or, not knowing how much accuracy is given, maybe 14 years is half life.
