X=5. 2(5)^2 -11(5)+5=0
50-55+5=5
therefore X=5

Situation:A researcher in North America discoversa fossile that contains 65% of its originalamount of C-14..-ktN=NoeNo inital am

zheka24 [161]

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
