Instructions:

Set the radioactive decay constant ‘k’ equal to 0.000123456.

Extracted text: One of the applications of Differential Equations is Growth and Decay. Radioactive decay is an exponential process. If xo is the initial quantity of a radioactive substance at time :0, then the amount of that substance that will be present at any time t in the future is given by: t = x(t) = xoe¬kt Where 'k' is the radioactive decay constant. Create a script file that reads the half-life of the radioactive element remaining in a sample, calculates the age of the sample from it, and prints out the result with proper units.
