    PROBLEM 8

    Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 ± 40 years (i.e., half the amount of the isotope presents at
    any instant will undergo spontaneous disintegration during the succeeding 5,730 years).

    We are given half-life of 5750. This means that Carbon-14 loses its half amount every 5750
    years by decaying and reactions.
    kt
    Formula: P ( t ) =P0 × e

    Here: P0is the initial amount, P ( t ) is the current amount, t is time for losing the initial amount and
    becoming the current amount by decaying.

    We can find how linen wrapping old by this formula.

    1
    If we get 1 amount of Corbin-14, it becomes amount after 5750 years.
    2

    1
    So, in our formula 1 amount is P0 and amount is P ( t ) . t is 5750 here for Carbon-14.
    2

    Plugging into the formula, we can make an equation like this:

    kt 1 k × 5750
    P ( 5750 )=P0 × e ⇒ =1 × e
    2

    1 k× 5750
    ln =ln ⁡(1× e )
    2

    1 k ×5750
    ln =ln e
    2

    1
    ln =k ×5750
    2

    1
    ln
    2
    k=
    5750
    Last Name 2

    −0.693147
    k≈ ≈−0.000120547
    5750

    We have found k ≈−0.000120547 . If we put given amounts and k into the equation again, we
    can find how old was the linen wrapping. We just found k here. Now we have to find how old the
    linen wrapping by given amounts.

    According to the condition of the problem, linen wrapping had lost 75.3% of its Carbon-14. So,
    there is 100%-75.3%=24.7% Carbon-14 current time. Let’s convert 24.7% into decimals.
    24.7/100=0.247

    After years, 1 amount became 0.247 amount. We have P ( t ) =0.247, P0=1 and
    k ≈−0.000120547

    kt
    P ( t ) =P0 × e
    −0.000120547 ×t
    0.247=1× e
    −0.000120547 ×t
    ln 0.247=ln e

    ln 0.247=−0.000120547 × t

    t ≈ 11600 yearsold

    Answer: t ≈ 11600 yearsold

    PROBLEM 1

    a)

    In order to determine the amount of money in an investment account after a specific amount of
    time, accounting for interest that compounds over time, we have a formula for compound
    interest like this:
    nt
    r
    A=P(1+ )
    n

     A is the amount in the account after t years


     P is the initial principal investment
     r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
     n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded
     t is the number of years
    Last Name 3

    So we can model our function according to the above formula like this:
    12t
    0.045
    A(t)=$ 2000 ×(1+ )
    12

    b)

    If we put 5 years into t, we can find the amount of money in 5 years.

    ( )
    12 ×5
    0.045 60
    A ( 5 )=$ 2000 × 1+ =$ 2000 ×1.08 ( 3 ) ≈ $ 2651.18
    12

    Answer: A ( 5 ) ≈ $ 2651.18

    c)

    We are now given the total amount we have earned and are required to determine how many years it
    nt
    r
    took us to earn this figure. For that we put $4500 into A in this formula: A=P(1+ )
    n
    12 t
    0.045
    $ 4500=$ 2000×(1+ )
    12

    ( )
    12 t
    0.045
    1+ =2.25 Now we will take the natural logarithm of both sides to find t.
    12

    ( )
    12t
    0.045
    ln 1+ =ln2.25
    12

    12 t × ln 1+ ( 0.045
    12 )
    =ln 2.25

    ln 2.25
    t= ≈ 9.76
    (
    12× ln 1+
    0.045
    12 ) We can calculate it by calculator.

    Answer: After t ≈ 9.76 years.

    PROBLEM 6

    1
    We are given log a ( 11 )=2.398 and log a ( 5 ) =1.609 and we should find log a ( )=?
    55

    1
    To find log a ( ), we add those two equations:
    55
    Last Name 4

    log a ( 11 )+ ¿ log a ( 5 ) ≈2.398+ 1.609 ¿

    log a 11×5 ≈ 2.398+1.609

    log a 55 ≈ 4.007 Now we multiply both sides of the equation by -1, and get

    −log a 55 ≈−4.007 According to n × log a b=log a bn formula, (−1)× log a 55=log a 55−1 and we
    1
    get log a ≈−4.007
    55

    1
    Answer: log a ≈−4.007
    55
