The function Q(t) = Qₒe⁻ᵏᵗ may be used to model radioactive decay. Q represents the quantity remaining after t years; k is the decay constant. What is the decay constant for plutonium- 240 if its half-life is 6,300 years? A. -[ln (0.5)/6,300]
B. 240ln (0.5)/6,300
C. ln (0.5)/240
D. In(0.5)/ln (6,300)
