Answer:

t \approx 750550.12\,yr

Step-by-step explanation:

The time constant of the isotope is:

\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 1.876 \times 10^{9}\,yr

The decay of the isotope is described by the following model:

\frac{m}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

Now, the time is cleared in the equation:

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

t = - (1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.9996

t \approx 750550.12\,yr

How can you represent 100 as an exponential expression with 10 as the base?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:  

We use exponential notation to write repeated multiplication, such as 10 • 10 • 10 as 103. The 10 in 103 is called the base. The 3 in 103 is called the exponent. The expression 103 is called the exponential expression
