Eureka Math Precalculus Module 3 Lesson 21 Exploratory Challenge\/Exercise Answer Key<\/h3>\n

Exploratory Challenge\/Exercises 1\u201314
\nBy examining the amount of Carbon – 14 that remains in an organism after death, one can determine its age. The half – life of Carbon – 14 is 5, 730 years, meaning that the amount of Carbon – 14 present is reduced by a factor of \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) every 5, 730 years.
\nExercise 1.
\nComplete the table.
\n\"Engage
\nAnswer:
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

Let C be the function that represents the number of C – 14 atoms remaining per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms t years after death.
\nExercise 2.
\nWhat is C(11, 460)? What does it mean in this situation?
\nAnswer:
\nC(11460) = 2500
\nEach time the years since death increase by 5, 730, you have to reduce the C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms by a factor of \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\). After the organism has been dead for 11, 460 years, the organism contains 2, 500 C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms.<\/p>\n

Exercise 3.
\nEstimate the number of C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms you would expect to remain in an organism that died 10, 000 years ago.
\nAnswer:
\nIt would be slightly more than 2, 500 atoms, so approximately 3, 100.<\/p>\n

Exercise 4.
\nWhat is C-1<\/sup>(625)? What does it represent in this situation?
\nAnswer:
\nC-1<\/sup>(625) = 22, 920
\nThis represents the number of years since death when there are 625 C – 14 atoms per
\n1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms remaining in the sample.<\/p>\n

Exercise 5.
\nSuppose the ratio of C – 14 to C – 12 atoms in a recently discovered woolly mammoth was found to be 0.000\u2006001. Estimate how long ago this animal died.
\nAnswer:
\nWe need to write this as a ratio with a denominator equal to 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup>.
\n0.000\u2006001 = 1.0\u00d710 – 6<\/sup> = \\(\\frac{1.0 \\times 10^{2}}{1.0 \\times 10^{8}}\\)
\nSo, if the number of C – 12 atoms is 1.0 \u00d7 108<\/sup>, then the number of C – 14 atoms would be 100. This animal would have died between 34, 000 and 40, 000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Exercise 6.
\nExplain why the C-1<\/sup>(100) represents the answer to Exercise 5.
\nAnswer:
\nC-1<\/sup>(100) means the value of x when C(x) = 100. We wanted the time when there would be 100 C – 14 atoms for every 1.0 \u00d7 108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms.<\/p>\n

Exercise 7.
\nWhat type of function best models the data in the table you created in Exercise 1? Explain your reasoning.
\nAnswer:
\nSince the data is being multiplied by a constant factor each time the years increase by the same amount, this data would be modeled best by an exponential function.<\/p>\n

Exercise 8.
\nWrite a formula for C in terms of t. Explain the meaning of any parameters in your formula.
\nAnswer:
\nC(t) = \\(10000\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{t}{5730}}\\)
\nThe 10, 000 represents the number of C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms present at the death of the organism. The 5, 730 and the \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\) indicate that the amount is halved every 5, 730 years.<\/p>\n

Exercise 9.
\nGraph the set of points (t, C(t)) from the table and the function C to verify that your formula is correct.
\nAnswer:
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

Exercise 10.
\nGraph the set of points (C(t), t) from the table. Draw a smooth curve connecting those points. What type of function would best model this data? Explain your reasoning.
\nAnswer:
\n\"Engage
\nThis data would best be modeled by a logarithmic function since the data points represent points on the graph of the inverse of an exponential function.<\/p>\n

Exercise 11.
\nWrite a formula that gives the years since death as a function of the amount of C – 14 remaining per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms.
\nAnswer:
\nTake the equation C(t) = 10000(\\(\\frac{1}{2}\\)), and use the variables x and y in place of t and C(t). Find the inverse by exchanging the x and y variables and solving for y.
\n\"Engage
\nIn this formula, x is the number of C – 14 atoms for every 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms, and f(x) is the time since death.<\/p>\n

Exercise 12.
\nUse the formulas you have created to accurately calculate the following:
\na. The amount of C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms remaining in a sample after 10, 000 years
\nAnswer:
\ny = \\(10000\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{10000}{5730}}\\)
\nC(10000) \u2248 2981
\nThere are approximately 2, 981 C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms in a sample that died 10, 000 years ago.<\/p>\n

b. The years since death of a sample that contains 100 C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms
\nAnswer:
\nf(x) = – \\(5730 \\log _{2}\\left(\\frac{100}{10000}\\right)\\)
\nf(100) \u2248 38069
\nAn organism containing 100 C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms died 38, 069 years ago.<\/p>\n

c. C(25, 000)
\nAnswer:
\ny = \\(10000\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{25000}{5730}}\\)
\nC(25000) \u2248 486
\nAfter an organism has been dead for 25, 000 years, there are approximately 486 C – 14 atoms per
\n1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms.<\/p>\n

d. C-1<\/sup>(1, 000)
\nAnswer:
\nf(x) = – \\(5730 \\log _{2}\\left(\\frac{1000}{10000}\\right)\\)
\nTo find this amount, evaluate f(1000) \u2248 19035.
\nWhen there are 1, 000 C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms, the organism has been dead for 19, 035 years.<\/p>\n

Exercise 13.
\nA baby woolly mammoth that was discovered in 2007 died approximately 39, 000 years ago. How many C – 14 atoms per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> C – 12 atoms would have been present in the tissues of this animal when it was discovered?
\nAnswer:
\nEvaluate C(39000) \u2248 89 atoms of C – 14 per 10\u00d7108<\/sup> atoms of C – 12.<\/p>\n

Exercise 14.
\nA recently discovered woolly mammoth sample was found to have a red liquid believed to be blood inside when it was cut out of the ice. Suppose the amount of C – 14 in a sample of the creature\u2019s blood contained 3, 000 atoms of C – 14 per 1.0\u00d7108<\/sup> atoms of C – 12. How old was this woolly mammoth?
\nAnswer:
\nEvaluate C-1<\/sup>(3000) \u2248 9953. The woolly mammoth died approximately 10, 000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Exercises 15\u201318
\nScientists can infer the age of fossils that are older than 50, 000 years by using similar dating techniques with other radioactive isotopes. Scientists use radioactive isotopes with half – lives even longer than Carbon – 14 to date the surrounding rock in which the fossil is embedded.
\nA general formula for the amount A of a radioactive isotope that remains after t years is A = \\(A_{0}\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{t}{h}}\\)
\nwhere A0<\/sub> is the amount of radioactive substance present initially and h is the half – life of the radioactive substance.
\nExercise 15.
\nSolve this equation for t to find a formula that infers the age of a fossil by dating the age of the surrounding rocks.
\nAnswer:
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

Exercise 16.
\nLet (x) = \\(A_{0}\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{x}{h}}\\). What is A-1<\/sup>(x)?
\nAnswer:
\nA-1<\/sup>(x) = – h log2<\/sub>\\(\\left(\\frac{x}{A_{0}}\\right)\\)<\/p>\n

Exercise 17.
\nVerify that A and A-1<\/sup>are inverses by showing that A(A-1<\/sup>(x)) = x and A-1<\/sup>(A(x)) = x.
\nAnswer:
\n\"Engage<\/p>\n

Exercise 18.
\nExplain why, when determining the age of organic materials, archaeologists and anthropologists would prefer to use the logarithmic function to relate the amount of a radioactive isotope present in a sample and the time since its death.
\nAnswer:
\nDefining the years since death as a function of the amount of radioactive isotope makes more sense since archaeologists and anthropologists are trying to determine the number of years since the death of an organism from a sample. They know the amount of the radioactive isotope and can use that as an input into the formula to generate the number of years since its death.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nA study done from 1950 through 2000 estimated that the world population increased on average by 1.77% each year. In 1950, the world population was 2, 519 million.
\na. Write a formula for the world population t years after 1950. Use p to represent the world population.
\nAnswer:
\np = 2519(1.0177)t<\/sup><\/p>\n

b. Write a formula for the number of years it takes to reach a population of p.
\nAnswer:
\nt = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{p}{2519}\\right)}{\\ln (1.0177)}\\)<\/p>\n

c. Use your equation in part (b) to find when the model predicts that the world population is 10 billion.
\nAnswer:
\nt = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{10000}{2519}\\right)}{\\ln (1.0177)}\\)
\n\u2248 78.581
\nAccording to the model, it takes about \\(78 \\frac{1}{2}\\) years from 1950 for the world population to reach 10 billion; this would be in 2028.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nConsider the case of a bank offering r (given as a decimal) interest per year compounded monthly, if you
\ndeposit $P.
\na. What is the interest rate per month?
\nAnswer:
\n\\(\\frac{r}{12}\\)<\/p>\n

d. What is the doubling – time of an investment earning 7% interest per year, compounded monthly? Round up to the next month.
\nAnswer:
\n\"Eureka
\nIt would take 120 months or 10 years in order to double an investment earning 7% interest per year, compounded monthly.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nA half – life is the amount of time it takes for a radioactive substance to decay by half. In general, we can use the equation A = P(\\(\\frac{1}{2}\\))t<\/sup> for the amount of the substance remaining after t half – lives.
\na. What does P represent in this context?
\nAnswer:
\nThe initial amount of the radioactive substance<\/p>\n

b. If a half – life is 20 hours, rewrite the equation to give the amount after h hours.
\nAnswer:
\n\\(t = \\frac{h}{20}\\)
\n\\(A = P\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{h}{20}}\\)<\/p>\n

c. Use the natural logarithm to express the original equation as having base e.
\nAnswer:
\n\\(A = P e^{\\ln \\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right) t}\\)<\/p>\n

d. The formula you wrote in part (c) is frequently referred to as the \u201cPert\u201d formula, that is, Pert<\/sup>. Analyze the value you have in place for r in part (c). What do you notice? In general, what do you think r represents?
\nAnswer:
\nr = \\(\\ln \\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)\\)
\nIt seems like the r value always represents the natural logarithm of the growth rate per t. If t is a number of half – lives, then r is the natural logarithm of \\(\\frac{1}{2}\\).<\/p>\n

e. Jess claims that any exponential function can be written with base e; is she correct? Explain why.
\nAnswer:
\nShe is correct. No matter what the original rate is, say b, we can always rewrite the rate as eln(b)<\/sup>, so e is always a possible base for an exponential function. Similarly, we could always rewrite logarithms in terms of the natural logarithm.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nIf caffeine reduces by about 10% per hour, how many hours h does it take for the amount of caffeine in a body to reduce by half (round up to the next hour)?
\nAnswer:
\n\\(\\frac{1}{2} = 1 \\cdot(0.9)^{h}\\)
\nh = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)}{\\ln (0.9)}\\)
\n\u2248 6.5788
\nIt takes about 7 hours for the caffeine to reduce by half.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nIodine – 123 has a half – life of about 13 hours, emits gamma – radiation, and is readily absorbed by the thyroid. Because of these facts, it is regularly used in nuclear imaging.
\na. Write a formula that gives you the percent p of iodine – 123 left after t half – lives.
\nAnswer:
\nA = \\(P\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{t}\\)
\n\\(\\frac{A}{P} = \\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{t}\\)
\np = \\(\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{t}\\)<\/p>\n

b. What is the decay rate per hour of iodine – 123? Approximate to the nearest millionth.
\nAnswer:
\nt = \\(\\frac{h}{13}\\)
\np = \\(\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{\\frac{h}{13}}\\)
\np = \\(\\left.\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^{1 \/ 13}\\right)^{h}\\)
\np \u2248 (0.948\u2006078)h<\/sup>
\nIodine – 123 decays by about 0.051\u2006922 per hour, or 5.1922%.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nUse your result to part (b). How many hours h would it take for you to have less than 1% of an initial dose of iodine – 123 in your system? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.
\nAnswer:
\n0.01 = (0.948\u2006078)h<\/sup>
\nh = \\(\\frac{\\ln (0.01)}{\\ln (0.948078)}\\)
\n\u2248 86.4
\nIt would take approximately 86.4 hours for you to have less than 1% of an initial does of iodine – 123 in your system.<\/p>\n

Question 7.
\nAn object heated to a temperature of 50\u00b0C is placed in a room with a constant temperature of 10\u00b0C to cool down. The object\u2019s temperature T after t minutes can be given by the function T(t) = 10 + 40e – 0.023\u2006105t<\/sup>.
\na. How long does it take for the object to cool down to 30\u00b0C?
\nAnswer:
\n30 = 10 + 40e – 0.023\u2006105t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\frac{1}{2} = e^{ – 0.023105 t}\\)
\nt = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)}{ – 0.023105}\\) \u2248 29.9999
\nAbout 30 minutes<\/p>\n

b. Does it take longer for the object to cool from 50\u00b0C to 30\u00b0C or from 30\u00b0C to 10.1\u00b0C?
\nAnswer:
\nSince it is an exponential decay function, it takes longer for the object to cool from 30\u00b0C to 10.1\u00b0C than it takes for the object to cool from 50\u00b0C to 30\u00b0C. The function levels off as it approaches 10\u00b0C, so it takes progressively longer. It would take an additional 70 minutes to cool down to 10.1\u00b0C after getting to 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

c. Will the object ever be 10\u00b0C if kept in this room?
\nAnswer:
\nIt will effectively be 10\u00b0C eventually, but mathematically it will never get there. After 400 minutes, the temperature will be about 10.0001\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

d. What is the domain of T-1<\/sup>? What does this represent?
\nAnswer:
\nThe domain of the inverse represents the possible temperatures that the object could be, so (10, 50].<\/p>\n

Question 8.
\nThe percent of usage of the word judgment in books can be modeled with an exponential decay curve. Let P be the percent as a function of x, and let x be the number of years after 1900; then, P(x) = 0.022\u2006046\u20065 \u22c5 e– 0.007\u2006994\u20061x<\/sup>.
\na. According to the model, in what year was the usage 0.1% of books?
\nAnswer:
\n\\(P^{ – 1}(x) = \\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{x}{0.0220465}\\right)}{ – 0.0079951}\\)
\nAccording to the inverse of the model, we get a value of – 189, which corresponds to the year 1711.<\/p>\n

b. When does the usage of the word judgment drop below 0.001% of books? This model was made with data from 1950 to 2005. Do you believe your answer is accurate? Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nWe get a value of 387, which corresponds to the year 2, 287. It is unlikely that the model would hold up well in either part (a) or part (b) because these years are so far in the past and future.<\/p>\n

c. Find P-1<\/sup>. What does the domain represent? What does the range represent?
\nAnswer:
\n\"Eureka
\nThe domain is the percent of books containing the word \u201cjudgment\u201d while the range is the number of years after 1, 900.<\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nDarrin drank a latte with 205 milligrams (mg) of caffeine. Each hour, the caffeine in Darrin\u2019s body diminishes by about 8%.
\na. Write a formula to model the amount of caffeine remaining in Darrin\u2019s system after each hour.
\nAnswer:
\nc(t) = 205 \u22c5 (1 – 8%)t<\/sup>
\nc(t) = 205 \u22c5 (0.92)t<\/sup><\/p>\n

b. Write a formula to model the number of hours since Darrin drank his latte based on the amount of caffeine in Darrin\u2019s system.
\nAnswer:
\nc = 205(0.92)t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\frac{c}{205}\\) = 0.92t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\ln \\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)\\) = ln\u2061(0.92)t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\ln \\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)\\) = t\u2219ln\u2061(0.92)
\nt = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)}{\\ln (0.92)}\\)
\nThus,
\nt(c) = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)}{\\ln (0.92)}\\).
\nAlternatively,
\nc = 205(0.92)t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\frac{c}{205}\\) = 0.92t<\/sup>
\n\\(\\log _{0.92}\\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)\\) = t.
\nAnd by the change of base property,
\nt(c) = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{c}{205}\\right)}{\\ln (0.92)}\\).<\/p>\n

c. Use your equation in part (b) to find how long it takes for the caffeine in Darrin\u2019s system to drop below 50 mg.
\nAnswer:
\nt = \\(\\frac{\\ln \\left(\\frac{50}{205}\\right)}{\\ln (0.92)}\\)
\nIt would take approximately 16.922 hours for the caffeine to drop to 50 mg; therefore, it would take approximately 17 hours for the caffeine to drop below 50 mg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
