Question

Write an equation for a function that represents the amount of carbon-14 that will remain

after x half-lives. Write a "let" statement.

Answer 1

The amount of carbon-14 that will remain after x half-lives can be represented by the function:

A(x) = A0 * (1/2)^x

where A0 is the initial amount of carbon-14.

Let A(x) be the amount of carbon-14 that will remain after x half-lives and let A0 be the initial amount of carbon-14.
