Carbon 14 dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on Earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. If this is true, the amount of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) absorbed by a tree growing today. A piece of ancient charcoal contains only \(15 \%\) as much radioactive carbon as a piece of modern charcoal. How long ago was the tree burned to make the ancient charcoal if the half-life of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) is 5715 years?
The demand equation for a hand-held electronic organizer is \(p=5000\left(1-\frac{4}{4+e^{-0.002 x}}\right)\) Find the demand \(x\) for a price of (a) \(p=\$ 600\) and (b) \(p=\$ 400\).
Find the exponential model \(y=a e^{b x}\) that fits the points shown in the graph or table. $$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline x & 0 & 4 \\ \hline y & 5 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
You are investing \(P\) dollars at an annual interest rate of \(r,\) compounded continuously, for \(t\) years. Which of the following would result in the highest value of the investment? Explain your reasoning. (a) Double the amount you invest. (b) Double your interest rate. (c) Double the number of years.
Use the acidity model given by \(\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right],\) where acidity \((\mathrm{pH})\) is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) (measured in moles of hydrogen per liter) of a solution. Compute \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) for a solution in which \(\mathrm{pH}=3.2\).
