The amount of radioactive material in a sample is given by the function N(t), where t is measured in years and N is measured in grams. The rate of change of the amount is proportional to the amount itself. If the initial quantity of material is 100 grams, and it begins decaying at a rate of 50 grams per year, what is the differential equation that represents the situation?
