An artifact originally had 16 grams of​ carbon-14 present. The decay model Upper A equals 16 e Superscript negative 0.000121 t describes the amount of​ carbon-14 present after t years. Use the model to determine how many grams of​ carbon-14 will be present in 6587 years.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.21 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The Decay Model is given as:

[tex]A=16e^{-0.000121 t}[/tex]

When t=6587 years

The amount of grams of carbon-14 that will be present is:

[tex]A(6587)=16e^{-0.000121X6587}\\=7.21\: grams[/tex]

There will be 7.21 grams of Carbon-14 after 6587 years.
