Question 968691: one method to determine the time since an animal died is to estimate the percentage of carbon-14 remaining in its bones. The percent P in decimal form of carbon-14 remaining after x years is given by P(x)=e^-0.000121x. Approximate (to the nearest whole year) the age of a fossil if there is 70% of carbon-14 remaining. show work Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
