I have this decay problem, finding activity. 1 uci = Ao e^-369.648 which eventually can be simplied into Ao = e^369.648. How do I get the intitial activity if the number is so large. My calculator cant handle it, is there other means of calculating this?
+8262 Um... I am suggesting using the homepage calculator. What calculator did you use?
it was a casio fx-82MS calculator.
Anyways though i figured it out. I just did e^184.5*e^184.5 (369/2 - 184.5) which is (1.34x10^80)*(1.34x10^80) which then became (1.34*1.34)x10^(80+80) = 1.7956x10^160 which was confirmed to be right by the calculator in the homepage.
