Prehistoric cave paintings were discovered in a cave in France. the paint contain 25% of the original Carbon-14. Use the exponential decay model for carbon-14, A=A0e^-0.000121t to estimate the age of the paintings

Sagot :

Answer:

The age of paintings is - 26,601 years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets calculate-

A= [tex]0.25 A[/tex]o

Therefore ,

[tex]A= A[/tex]o [tex]e^-^0^.^0^0^0^1^2^1^t[/tex]

[tex]ln0.25=-0.000121t[/tex]

[tex]-3.2188=-0.000121t[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{-3.2188}{-0.000121}[/tex]

  t= 26,601.65

Therefore , the age of paintings is 26,601 years old.
