The half-life of cobalt 60 is 5 years. (a) Obtain an exponential decay model for cobalt 60 in the form Q = Qoe-kt. (Round the decay constant to three significant digits.) -0.139t Q(t) = Q0e (b) Use your model to predict, to the nearest year, the time it takes one quarter of a sample of cobalt 60 to decay. 10 X yr
