8.  A fossilized piece of wood is found to contain 30% of the normal level of carbon-14 present when a tree of this type is alive. Estimate the age of the fossil. (The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. Round to the nearest year.)


9. A pond is seeded with a small type of prolific fish. The number of fish after t months can be estimated by the following equation:
