The radioactive substance cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. The amount \( A(t) \) (in grams) of a sample of cesium-137 remaining after \( t \) years is given by the following exponential function. \[ A(t)=621\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{30}} \] Find the initial amount in the sample and the amount remaining after 100 years. Round your answers to the nearest gram as necessary. Initial amount: \( \square \) grams Amount after 100 years: \( \square \) grams
