24.5.2 Radioactive Decay and Half-Life
Core ideaWith each half-life that passes, an artifact's carbon halves, and exponential decay lets us read back how old it is.
Module goal. Use exponentials and logarithms to capture real-world growth, decay, and phenomena spanning many orders of magnitude, feeling the value of modeling
