Applications

The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for half of the atoms of the substance to become disintegrated. All life on Earth contains the radioactive element Carbon-14, which decay continuously at a fixed rate. The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5760 years. That is, every 5760 years half of a mass of Carbon-14 decays away. Suppose that bones of a woolly mammoth are estimated to contain only 3% as much Carbon-14 as they would have contained when the animal was alive. How long ago did the mammoth die?
