Suppose an egyptian mummy is discovered in which the amount of carbon-14 present is only about oneone-fifthfifth the amount found in living human beings. the amount of carbon-14 present in animal bones after t years is given by yequals=y 0 e superscript negative 0.0001216 ty0e−0.0001216t, where y 0y0 is the amount of carbon-14 present in living human beings. about how long ago did the egyptian die?

We are given the following equation:

y = y0 e^-0.0001216 t

where y = 1/5 y0, y0 is the original amount

So solving for time t:

1/5 y0= y0 e^-0.0001216 t

t = 13,235.51 years

So the human died about 13235.5 years ago

The Egyptian mummy discovered has been died 13235.5 years ago.

To calculate and solve for the time required for the presence of carbon-14, the carbon dating profile of the bones has been considered. The radiocarbon dating with carbon-14 helps in the determination of the age of objects by carbon profiling.

y0 has been the amount of carbon present in living beings.

Given,

For time,

Thus, the Egyptians mummy discovered has died 13235.5 years ago.
