Yes, provided that C_2 is not zero

#

ooh i see

#

also is delta t an absolute number

#

the difference of time shouldn't be negative

runic basin Apr 11, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

Yes it's a constant and negative

#

since ln (1/2) = ln 1 - ln 2 = - ln 2

violet rose Apr 11, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

so for the answer i'll say the difference of time is minus something ?

#

or just the something

runic basin Apr 11, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

The answer is negative so yeah I guess

#

Idk what the context is for the problem so I can't comment on that

#

it was calculating the difference of time with carbon 14 thing

#

of a dead species

runic basin Apr 11, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

Are you calculating for a time where it had more mass?

#

well the question was "If the quantity of carbon 14 of a sample E1 is the double of the quantity of carbon 14 in a sample E2, determine the lasted time between the death of the two species from these two samples"

#

so i took the sample with the biggest amount of carbon 14 minus the one with the smallest

runic basin Are you calculating for a time where it had more mass?

so yes

runic basin Apr 11, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

If it's asking for the difference I think you can just take the positive value

violet rose Apr 11, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

yeah i thought so too

#

well thanks for the help !
