PROBLEM SOLVING When a plant or animal dies, it stops acquiring carbon-14 from the atmosphere. The amount y in grams) of carbon-14 in the body of an organism after t years is y= a(0.5)^t/5730, where a is the initial amount (in grams). What percent of the carbon-14 is released each year? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

0.01%

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a (0.5)^t/5730

y=a [(0.5)^t/5730]

when you put 0.5^1/5730

it'll give you 0.99

The "equation" is y=a(1-r)^t

so 1-0.99 is 0.01
