In the treatment of prostate cancer, radioactive implants are often used. The implants are left in the patient and never removed. The amount of energy that is a transmitted to the body from the implant is measured in rem units and is given by E = IP06 H dt, where k is the decay constant for the radioactive material, a is the 0 number of years since the implant, and PO is the initial rate at which energy is transmitted. Suppose that the treatment uses palladium-103. which has a half-life of 16.99 days. Answer parts a] through c) below. a) Find the decay rate, k, of palladium-103. k= (Round to ve decimal places as needed.)
