the 3.02375 is correct, but you lost a factor of 10^-8
So, what you really have is .03 micrograms
The quantity Q of radioactive carbon remaining in a 200-gram wood sample at time t is given by the expression
Q(t)=200e^(−0.000225⋅t).
How much radioactive carbon remains in the sample after 100500 years?
I just plugged in 100500 as t and got 3.02375 grams as an answer. Is this correct?
