18. Radioactive Cesium The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 10-g sample. (a) Find a function m(t) = mo2th that models the mass remaining after t years. (b) Find a function m(1) = moe" that models the mass remaining after 1 years. (c) How much of the sample will remain after 80 years?
