Solve the problem.In the formula A(t) = A0ekt, A(t) is the amount of radioactive material remaining from an initial amount A0 at a given time t and k is a negative constant determined by the nature of the material. An artifact is discovered at a certain site. If it has 65% of the carbon-14 it originally contained, what is the approximate age of the artifact, rounded to the nearest year? (carbon-14 decays at the rate of 0.0125% annually.)
