BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 6 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Carbon Emissions In 1995, the United States emitted about 1400 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere. In the same year, China emitted about 850 million tons. Suppose the annual rate of growth of the carbon emissions in the United States and China are 1.5% and 4.5%, respectively. After how many years will China be emitting more carbon into Earth’s atmosphere than the United States?

(There are several methods available to determine how much carbon-14 the artifact originally contained.) How long ago did the person die?

BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 10 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Carbon Dating Solution: Assume that the Exponential Decay Model Applies The half-life of 14 C is approximately 5700 years and that means

BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 13 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example King Tut’s Tomb In 1960, a group of specialists from the British Museum in London investigated whether a piece of art containing organic material found in Tutankhamun’s tomb had been made during his reign or (as some historians claimed) whether it belonged to an earlier period. We know that King Tut died in 1346 B.C. and ruled Egypt for 10 years. What percent of the amount of carbon-14 originally contained in the object should be present in 1960 if the object was made during Tutankhamun’s reign?
14
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 14 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example King Tut’s Tomb Solution: The half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 5700 years and that means Solving the HalfLife Eqn Solving for k yields k = −0.0001216/year. Subbing this Value of k into the Decay Eqn gives:
15
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 15 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example King Tut’s Tomb Now Let x represent the percent of the original amount of 14 C in the antiquity object that remains after t yrs. Using x in the Decay Eqn And The time t that elapsed between King Tut’s death and 1960 is t = 1960 + 1346 = 3306.
16
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 16 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example King Tut’s Tomb The percent x 1 of the original amount of carbon-14 remaining after 3306 years is King Tut ruled Egypt for 10 years, the time t 1 that elapsed from the beginning of his reign to 1960 is t 1 = 3306 + 10 = 3316.
17
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH55_Lec-64_Fa08_sec_9-5b_Logarithmic_Eqns.ppt 17 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example King Tut’s Tomb The percent x 2 of the original amount of carbon-14 remaining after 3316 years is Thus we conclude, that if the piece of art was made during King Tut’s reign, the amount of carbon-14 remaining in 1960 should be between 66.816% and 66.897%

Find the exponential growth function We have P 0 = 45,000. Thus the exponential growth function is A(t) = 45,000e rt, where r must be determined. Knowing that for t = 5 we have A(5) = 60,743.65, it is possible to solve for r:
