A human skeleton is found in an archeological dig. Carbon dating is implemented to determine how old the skeleton is by using the equation y= e^-0.0001210t , where y is the percent of radiocarbon remaining when the skeleton is t years old.
If the skeleton is expected to be 1500 years old, what percentage of carbon should be present?

not really calculus - just Algebra II
just plug in the value for t.
e^(-0.0001210*1500) = 0.834 or 83.4%
