The amount of carbon-14 present in animal bones t years after the animal's death is given by p(t)= -0.00012097t. how old is an ivory tusk that has lost 34% of its carbon-14?

I believe the equation you gave is wrong because the standard form of equation for C-14 decay is in the form of:

A = Ao e^-kt

So I think the right form of equation is (correct me if I’m wrong):

 P(t) = Po e^(-0.00012097t)

Where,

Po = initial value of C-14 at t = 0

t = time elapsed

Since it is given that:

P = (1 – 0.34) Po

P = 0.66 Po

Therefore, t is:

0.66 Po = Po e^(-0.00012097 t)

0.66 = e^(-0.00012097 t)

taking ln of both side:

ln 0. 66 = -0.00012097 t

t = - ln 0. 66 / 0.00012097

t = 3,434.86 years

Therefore the ivory tusk is about 3,435 years old.

At first, when he met the wack speaking Eliza Doolittle he thought very little of women and thought of himself as superior. Later, he begins to develop feelings for Eliza but denies them and only thinks of her as an experiment. In the very end, he starts to respect her, but doesn't know how to show it. He ends up hurting her feelings and then she runs off with a quite daft man which he thought was funny yet stung with jealously. Over the course, the attitude is more accepted and starts to respect women more.
