[tex]A=2.01×10^{16}\:\text{nuclei}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

[tex]\lambda = 4.96×10^3 s[/tex]

[tex]A_0 = 3.21x10^{17}[/tex] nuclei

t = 1.98×10^4 s

[tex]A=A_02^{-\frac{t}{\lambda}}[/tex]

[tex]A=(3.21×10^{17}\:\text{nuclei}) \left(2^{-\frac{1.98×10^4}{4.96×10^3}} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=2.01×10^{16}\:\text{nuclei}[/tex]
