An accident at a nuclear power plant has left the surrounding area polluted with radioactive material that decays naturally. The initial amount of radioactive material present is 15 SU (safe units), and 5 months later it is still 10 SU.
a. Write a formula giving the amount A(t) of radioactive material (in SU) remaining after t months.
b. What amount of radioactive material will remain after 8 months?
c. How long (in total number of months or fraction thereof) will it be until A = 1 SU so it is safe for people to return to the area?
