So just like that using this exponential decay formula I was able to figure out how much of the carbon I have after kind of an unusual period of time a non-half-life period of time. We can now put k ln 62 into our formula from before. Lets say Im trying to figure out.

We can now put k ln 62 into our formula from before. We can now put k ln 62 into our formula from before. So you measure how much you have to begin with and when half is left the time it took for half to disappear is the half life. To find the half-life of a function describing exponential decay solve the following equation.
