The radioactive elements used in medical imaging are good examples of substances that decay exponentially. Iodine-123 is a radioactive substance used in diagnosing thyroid conditions. This particular isotope decays in such a way that 95% of the initial sample remains after each one-hour period. If an initial sample is 200 mg, write a function that describes the amount remaining after x hours.
