Answer:

  (a)  5440.42 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining (Q) is given in terms of the initial amount (Q₀) by the exponential decay formula ...

  Q = Q₀(1/2)^(t/330) . . . . . where t is in days

__

The amount after 540 days is ...

  1750 g = Q₀(1/2)^(540/330) = 0.321666Q₀

  Q₀ = (1750 g)/(0.321666) ≈ 5440.42 g

The initial quantity was about 5440.42 grams.
