The number of radioactive isotopes in a sample, N(t) as a function of time is given by an exponential law
where N(0) is the initial number of radioactive isotopes at time t=0, and k is a constant. Find the expression for t1/f, the time it takes for N(t) to go from its initial value to N(o)/f. What is the value for X in the following expression?

I only need help with part c). Thanks!
As a radioactive specimen decays, its activity decreases exponentially as the number of radioactive atoms diminishes. Some radioactive species have mean lives in the millions (or even billions) of years, so their exponential decay is not readily apparent. On the other hand, many species have mean lives of minutes or hours, for their exponential decay is easily observed. According to the exponential decay law, the number of radioactive atoms that remain after...
