At the beginning of an experiment a scientist has 372 grams of radioactive goo. After 165 minutes, her sample has decayed to 11.625 grams. what is the half life of the goo in minutes? find a formula for G(t) the amount of goo remaining at time t. G(t)= how many grams of goo will remain after 47 minutes?
