in 1950,a team of chemists led by Dr. W.F. Libby developed a method for determining the age of any natural specimen, up to approximately 60 000 years of age. Dr. Libby's method is based on the fact that all living materials contain traces of carbon -14. his method involves measuring the percent of carbon-14 that remains when a specimen is found.

years carbon-14 remaining (%)
  5730           50.0
11460            25.0
17190            12.5
22920            6.25
28650            3.125
34380            1.5625

p(t)=100(0.5)ˆt/5730

A. what percent of carbon is remaining for t=0? what does this mean in the context of Dr. Libby's method?
B. what is a reasonable domain for p(t)?what is a reasonable range?
C. determine the approximate age of a specimen, given that p(t)=70.
D. draw the graph of the inverse function.
E. what information does the inverse function provide?
F. what are the domain and range of the inverse function?
