How do you do carbon dating in math?

We can use our our general model for exponential decay to calculate the amount of carbon at any given time using the equation, N (t) = N0e kt . Modeling the decay of 14C. Other radioactive isotopes are also used to date fossils.

How do you determine carbon dating?

Radiocarbon dating is a method that provides objective age estimates for carbon-based materials that originated from living organisms. An age could be estimated by measuring the amount of carbon-14 present in the sample and comparing this against an internationally used reference standard.
