Math Problem Statement
A tumor is injected with 0.9 grams of Iodine-125, which has a decay rate of 1.15% per day. Write an exponential model representing the amount of Iodine-125 remaining in the tumor after t days. Then use the formula to find the amount of Iodine-125 that would remain in the tumor after 60 days. Enter the exact answer. Enclose arguments of functions in parentheses and include a multiplication sign between terms. For example, c*exp(h) or c*ln(h). A(t) =
