As per compound interest calculation, 6.6 grams of Carbon-14 will remain after 5000 years.
What is compound interest?
"Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on principal plus interest."
Given, the amount of Carbon-14 present now (P) = 12 grams.
The rate of decay (r) = - 0.00012.
Total time period (n) = 5000 years.
Therefore, Carbon-14 will remain after 5000 years is
[tex]= P(1 + r)^{n}[/tex]
[tex]= 12(1 - 0.00012)^{5000}[/tex] grams
= 6.6 grams
Therefore, 6.6 grams of Carbon-14 will remain after 5000 years.
