    The document models radioactive decay over time using a system of differential equations to calculate the decay of nuclei N1, N2, and N3. It plots the decay curves of the three nuclei on a graph with time on the x-axis and number of nuclei on the y-axis. The graph shows an exponential decay in the number of nuclei N1 over time, with numbers transferring to N2 and then N3, peaking at a set time point.
