SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have

\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ 0.65N_0=N_0e^{-0.0001t} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=\frac{0.65N_0}{N_0} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=0.65 \end{gathered}

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

\begin{gathered} ln(e^{-0.000t})=ln(0.65) \\ -0.0001t=ln(0.65) \\ t=\frac{ln(0.65)}{-0.0001} \\ t=4307.82916 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year

Somebody, please help
SashulF [63]
F(x) can be written as:
f(x) = Asin(2x); where A is the amplitude and the period of the function is half that of a normal sin function.
f(π/4) = 4
4 = Asin(2(π/4))
4 = Asin(π/2)
A = 4
Amplitude of g(x) = 1/2 * amplitude of f(x)
A for g(x) = 2
g(x) = 2sin(x)
