radioactive material decays according to this formula: \[A=A _{0}(2)^{-t}\] how much of a 3 gram sample will be left in 6 years?

I appreciate any help you can offer, but please don't be so rude.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I realize the 6 would replace the "t"... but I don't understand how to input the 3-gram?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Ao is the starting population or amount and A is the final population or amount. That exponent, t, is of course time. =D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

3 gram is the original amt so it is A_0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would start it with 3(2)^-6
