Answer:
the specimen has 11460 years old
Explanation:
if the live sample has as initial amount of Yo C14, the dead sample will have 0.25Yo of C14.
the rate of decay of radiactive matter over time is
- Y(t) = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / T)
∴ Y(t) = 0.25Yo; T = 5730
⇒ 0.25Yo = Yo * e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )
⇒ 0.25 = e (( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730 )
⇒ Ln(0.25) = ( - t * Ln2 ) / 5730
⇒ - 7943.466 = - t * Ln2
⇒ 7943.466 / Ln2 = t
⇒ t = 11460 year
I really hope and think it’s E
