↑ X The amount of plutonium remaining from 1 kilogram after x years is given by the function W(x) = 2 24,360 (a) How much will be left after 4000 years? (b) How much will be left after 9000 years? (c) How much will be left after 16,000 years? (d) Estimate how long it will take for the 1 kilogram to decay to half its original weight. *** (a) The amount of plutonium left after 4000 years is about kilograms. (Round the final answer to two decimal places as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)
