An archeologist has found a fossilized leg bone of some unknown mammal. Based on the size of the bone, she determines that it should have contained about 100 g of carbon-14 when the animal was alive. Knowing that the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, write an equation that will model how much carbon-14 is left in the bone now after "t" years.

Therefore, required equation is N = 100 x

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question it is given that

Amount of carbon atom when animal was alive is =  100g

Half life of C-14 is 5730 years

Let 'N' be the amount of carbon atom present after 't' time

since the differential equation of decay process of radioactive atom is

where, λ is the decay constant

on solving this we get

on further solving and substituting we get

on substituting the value of   =  100g and = 5730 we get

N = 100 x

step-by-step explanation:

yes it represnts a functio, their are not 2 of the same numbers on the both sides
