I need the answers to this question plz

Cobalt -57 is used in medical testing and has a half-life of about 272 days, which means after 272 days, half of the Cobalt -57 has decayed to less radioactive and more stable form. The function for the half-life of an isotope is shown.


A(t)=A0(1/2)t/h


A0 is the initial amount of the isotope, h is the half-life, t is the input or time elapse, and A(t) is the output or the amount of the isotope remaining as a function of time.



1)What type of function does this represent? Explain why in complete sentences.
