Answer:
This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.
Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%
k = .0001 (that value should be negative)
Nt = No * e^ (k*t)
You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)
time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k
time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001
time = ln (.57) / -.0001
time = -.56211891815 / -.0001
time = 5,621.2 years (age of the bird skeleton)
These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to one side
4x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0
Plug into quadratic formula
x = (-4 <u>+</u> ) / 2(4)
= (-4 <u>+</u> )/8
At this point, there are no real answers. The roots to this equation are complex.
x = (-4 <u>+</u> 8i)/8
= (-1 <u>+</u> 2i)/2
