An archaeologist in turkey discovers a spear head that contains 80% of its original amount of c-14. find the age of the spear head to the nearest year.

The age of the spear head to the nearest year is 1845 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

half life time of C-14 is 5730 years

so, h=5730

we can use formula

now, we can plug value

an archaeologist in turkey discovers a spear head that contains 80% of its original amount of C-14

so,

we can plug it

now, we can solve for t

So,

The age of the spear head to the nearest year is 1845 years

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
