### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: State the Law of Radioactive Decay** The law of radioactive decay states that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is directly proportional to the number of undecayed nuclei present at any given time. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ \frac{dN}{dt} = -\lambda N ...
