An archaeologist finds a box in a temple ruin whose age he wants to determine using radiocarbon dating. Using a scale, he determines the box's mass and calculates that at the time of its formation, the box contained approximately 78,000 billion C-14 atoms. Plot the number of C-14 atoms contained in the box as a function of time in a coordinate system. The period between 0 and 12,339 years after its formation is to be represented, with a step size of 900 years. It is particularly useful to use the unit "atoms" for the c-axis scale; then the numbers are not so large. You don't have to write down a table of values; you can start drawing right away. Calculate how many C-12 atoms will still be present in the box 4,000 years after its formation. Provide your calculation method. A laboratory test determines that at the time of its discovery, the box contains only 400 billion carbon-14 atoms. Determine the approximate age of the box using your diagram from subtask b) and then again using an exact calculation. Plot your readings on the diagram.

what exactly is your question about the half-life of C14?. Look euinfach here, there’s the most explained:
