Problem
Find the age of the camel tooth to the nearest
year.
Suppose an archaeologist finds a camel
tooth that contains 42 % of original
amount of C-14. Find age of the tooth.
Enter the correct answer.
DONE
N= Noekt
No - initial mass of C-14 (at time t-0)
000
DO
N-amount of C-14 at timet
k=0.0001
t = time, in years
Since , our equation can be written like
this:
0.42Ny - Noe -0.00011
what is the age of the camel tooth ?
