At the beginning of an experiment, a scientist has 368 grams of radioactive goo. After 75 minutes, her sample has decayed to 11.5 grams. What is the half-life of the goo in minutes? Find a formula for G(t) the amount of goo remaining at time tt. G(t)= How many grams of goo will remain after 32 minutes?
