A. Use the half-life of carbon 14 to find the value or the parameter b, and plot the function.
b. If 90 percent of the original carbon 14 remains, estimate how long ago the organism died?
c. Suppose our estimate of b is off by -1 percent. How does this error affect the age estimate?

A use the half life of carbon 14 to find the value or the parameters b and plot the function

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
