64. Radioactive Decay Let Q represent a mass (in grams) of carbon (14C), whose half-life is t/5715 5715 years. The quantity of carbon 14 present after t years is Q = 10 | a. Determine the initial quantity (when t = 0). b. Determine the quantity present after 2000 years. c. Sketch the graph of the function over the interval t = 0 to t = 10,000.
