What is Exponent Function?

An exponential function is a function of form f (x) = aˣ, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.

Here, N =[tex]N_{0}.e^{-0.0001t}[/tex]

             = 52% N₀

[tex]e^{-0.0001t}[/tex] = 0.52

-0.0001 t = ln 0.52

t = -10000 ln 0.52

t = 6539

Thus, the age of the bird skeleton is 6539.
