Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of the element carbon.
Carbon-14 decays exponentially – as it decays it loses mass.
Carbon-14 is used in carbon dating to estimate the age of objects.
The time it takes the mass of carbon-14 to halve (called its half-life) is approximately 5700 years.
A model for the mass of carbon-14, m g, in an object of age years is
where and are constants.
For an object initially containing 100g of carbon-14, write down the value of .
Briefly explain why, if , will equal g when years.
Using the values from part (b), show that the value of is to three significant figures.
A different object currently contains 60g of carbon-14.
In 2000 years’ time how much carbon-14 will remain in the object?

In an effort to prevent extinction scientists released some rare birds into a newly constructed nature reserve.
The population of birds, within the reserve, is modelled by
is the number of birds after years of being released into the reserve.
Write down the number of birds the scientists released into the nature reserve.
According to this model, how many birds will be in the reserve after 3 years?
How long will it take for the population of birds within the reserve to reach 500?

Rebecca recently had the COVID-19 vaccine. The volume, V, of the vaccine in her blood over time can be modelled by an equation of the form , where V is the concentration (in mg) of the vaccine in the bloodstream and t is time measured in days after 9am on Monday.
On the following grid, sketch the graph of
Find, to the nearest minute, the time when the vaccine volume, V1 reaches a maximum value.
Rebecca experienced side-effects from the vaccine between the times when the volume reached its maximum value until it had dropped to half of its maximum value. Find, to the nearest minute, the length of time that Rebecca experienced side-effects from taking the vaccine.
The vaccine is medically determined to be no longer in Rebecca’s bloodstream when it drops down to 1% of its maximum value. Find the time that the vaccine is no longer in Rebecca’s bloodstream.
Rebecca’s friend, Zara, also had the vaccine on the same day. The volume in Zara’s bloodstream can be modelled by an equation of the form of Calculate, to the nearest minute, how much faster V2. took to reach a maximum volume compared to V1.
