The bones at the time they were discovered when the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years are 10062.5-year-old.

<h3>What is half-lives?</h3>

Half lives is the time interval which is need to decay the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample.

There is a scientist who determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 70.3% of their carbon-14. Thus, the fraction remaining is,

f=1-(70.3/100)=1-0.703

f=1-(70.3/100)=0.297

Now the fraction remaining can be given as,

f=(1/2)ⁿ

Here, n is the half life elapsed. Put the value of fraction remaining.

0.297=(1/2)ⁿ

n=1.75

The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years. Thus,

Years=1.75*5750

Years=10062.5

Thus, the bones at the time they were discovered when the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years are 10062.5-year-old.

P= $1,000, t= 6, r= 11%, compounded annually (k = 1)

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: well if p= $1000 and t=6 and r-11 % then 6k+11=1000 then 11- 1000 is 6k=989 divide 6/ 164.83 i think
