Differential Equations with Modeling Applications Archaeologists used pieces of burned wood, or charcoal, found at the site to date prehistoric paintings and drawings on walls and ceilings of a cave in Lascaux, France. Determine the approximate age of a piece of burned wood, if it was found that 72% of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years.
