A tumor is injected with 0.72 grams of Iodine-125. After 1 day, the amount of Iodine-125 has decreased by 1.15%. Write an exponential decay model with A (t) representing the amount of Iodine-125 remaining in the tumor after t days. Enclose arguments of the function in parentheses and include a multiplication sign between terms. For example, c* ln (t). Then use the formula for A (t) to find the amount of Iodine-125 that would remain in the tumor after 8.5 days. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) of a gram. sin (a) f 00 A (t) = %3D

Suppose that the initial size of a population is n0 and the population grows exponentially. Let n(t) be the size of the population at time t. (a) Write a formula for n(t) in terms of the doubling time a. (b) Write a formula for n(t) in terms of the relative growth rate r.
In an exponential decay function, the base of theexponent is a value between 0 and 1. Thus, for somenumber b1, the exponential decay function canbe written as f(x)=a(1b)x. Use this formula, alongwith the fact that b=en, to show that an exponential decay function takes theform f(x)=a(e)nx for somepositive number n.
