(2 points) Carbon dating uses Carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, to measure the age of an organic artifact. The amount of carbon-14 that remains after time t decays according to the differential equation dA = -0.00012A dt where A is the amount of Carbon-14 in grams and t is time in years. The general solution (check for yourself) of this differential equation is A = Ce-0.00012t Find the particular solutions which satisfy the following initial conditions. Enter your answer as an equation A = .... • The initial amount of carbon-14 at t = 0 is 240 grams. help (equations) • The amount of carbon-14 at time t = 2300 years is 240 grams. |help (equations) You are contracted to install Netscape Navigator software on all the PCs of company X After doing half the work, you found that company X is not paying Netscape for the copies you are installing You notified company X's contact that they are out of compliance with Netscape licensing requirement, but got no response • What do you do?
