Carbon-14 decays at a constant rate, so it can be used to determine the age of fossils. In particular, if the original amount of Carbon-14 present is A0, then A(t) = A0e-kt can be used find the amount of amount of Carbon-14 remaining after t years. Given that the half-life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years, what is the value of the decay constant k to 5 decimal places? - a1k a0A0 = A0e k ≈ a2
