Question 1057558: ​P(t)equals=Upper P Subscript o Baseline e Superscript negative 0.00012 tPoe−0.00012t. A bone has lost 2626​% of its​ carbon-14. How old is the​ bone?

.74=e^-0.00012t
ln 0.74=ln e^-0.00012t
ln 0.74=-0.00012t ln e
-0.3011050927839216142506551168791/-0.00012=t
t=2509.209 years as the age of the bone. ☺☺☺☺
