Question:
Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 2.8% per year. The amount of strontium-90, S, remaining after t years can be found by the function S(t) = S0e-0.028t, where S0 is the original amount present. If there are originally 1000 grams of strontium-90, determine the amount of strontium-90 remaining after 40 years. Round your answer to the nearest gram.
