## anonymous 4 years ago carbon-14 is a radioactive element. It is used to data ancient artifacts because it has a half-life of about 5730 years after the organism dies. The formula c=(1divide by 2)n divided by 5730

You posted the same question verbatim earlier, and I still don't understand what you're actually asking.

$\Large c = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{n}{{5730}} = \frac{n}{{11460}}$ But what are you asking?! The formula is that, so... what?

ya ok let me tell u the question

FSM that's a scary $$\huge c$$

an organic paper scroll dating back to 455 b.c.e when it was made, discovered last year in a cave in cairio, egypt. what concentration of carbon-14 would scientists discover in the scroll? round to the nearest four decimal places
