What is the formula to calculate the remaining amount of a radioactive substance after a certain number of half-lives?
Remaining Amount = Initial Amount * (1/2)^(Number of Half-Lives) + 1
Remaining Amount = Initial Amount * (1/2)^(Number of Half-Lives)
Remaining Amount = Initial Amount * (1/2)^(Number of Half-Lives) - 1
