Answer:
This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.
Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%
k = .0001 (that value should be negative)
Nt = No * e^ (k*t)
You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)
time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k
time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001
time = ln (.57) / -.0001
time = -.56211891815 / -.0001
time = 5,621.2 years (age of the bird skeleton)
These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

Answer: The correct statements are
The GCF of the coefficients is correct.
The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.
David applied the distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
GCF = Greatest common factor
1) GCF of coefficients : (80,32,48)
80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
GCF of coefficients : (80,32,48) is 16.
2) GCF of variables :()
= b × b × b × b
= b × b
=b × b × b × b
GCF of variables :() is
3) GCF of and c: c is not the GCF of the polynomial. The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.
4)
