It is determined that the volume of the yolk of a house fly egg shrinks according to the formula V(t) = 5e−1.3t mm3 (cubic millimeters), where t is the number of days from the time the egg is produced. The egg hatches after 4 days.

a. What is the volume of the yolk when the egg hatches?

b. Sketch the graph of the volume of the yolk over the time period 0 ≤ t ≤ 4.

c. Find the half-life of the volume of the yolk, that is, the time it takes for the volume of the yolk to shrink to half its original size.
