So, 0.5^5 is 0.03125
multiply that by 125 and get your answer.
*3.90625* (4)
just saying, I got the 0.5^5 thing because 5 is the number of half-lives (x) and 0.5 is the rate of loss (or whatever its called).
If it were to gain, you would put 1.5

<h3>What is scientific notation?</h3>

Scientific notation is simply a way of expressing numbers that are too large or small to be written in decimal form.

It may be referred to as standard index form or scientific form.

From the information given, we have;

a. 0. 000003 is written in standard form as;

= 3 × 10^-6 × 3 × 10^6

= 3 × 10^-6 + 3

= 3 × 10^0

= 3

b. 56, 000, 000. 00 is written in standard form as;

= 5. 6 × 10^7 × 6 × 10^-7

= 33. 6 × 10^7 -7

= 33. 6 × 10^0

= 33. 6

c. 8. 0 × 10^-3 × 7. 2 × 10^5

= 57. 6 × 10^-3 + 5

= 57. 6 × 10^2

d. 4. 0 × 10^-3 × 4. 0 × 10^-4

= 4. 0 ^ -3 +(-4)

= 4. 0 × 10^-7

e. 7. 0 × 10^3 × 7. 0 × 10^4

= 7. 0 × 10^ 3-4

= 7. 0 × 10^-1

Thus, scientific notation is also referred to as standard form.
