Exponential and Logarithmic Models · Exercise 38

Use this scenario: A tumor is injected with $0.5$ grams of Iodine-125, which has a decay rate of $1.15$ per day.

The half-life of Radium-226 is $1590$ years. What is the annual decay rate? Express the decimal result to four decimal places and the percentage to two decimal places.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
