Carbon-14 is used for archaeological carbon dating. Its half-life is 5,730 years. How much of a 250g sample of carbon-14 will be left in 5,000 years? Write your answer rounded to the nearest hundredth.

136.54 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an exponential decay problem of a radioactive element of the form:

#Given the initial size is 250g, and the half life is 5730 years, size after 5000 yrs can be calculated as:

Hence, the size of the element after 5000 days is 136.54 grams

step-by-step explanation:

1. practice, practice & more practice

2. review errors

3. master the key concepts

do not try to memorise the processes.

4. understand your doubts.

5. create a distraction free study environment

6. create a mathematical dictionary

7. apply maths to real world problems.

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.
