If it has 64 % of the carbon-14 it originally contained, what is the approximate age of the artifact? (carbon-14 decays at the rate of 0.0125% annually.) 63) A bacterial culture has an initial population of 10,000. If its population declines to4000 in 8 hours, what will it be at the end of 10 hours? Assume that the population decreases according to the exponential model. 64) Suppose the consumption of electricity grows at 8.9% per year, compounded continuously. Find the number of years before the use of electricity has tripled. Round the answer to the nearest hundreth. 65) The purchasing power of a dollar is decreasing at the rate of 8.5% annually, compounded continuously. How long will it take for the purchasing power of $1.00 to be worth $ 0.53? Round answers to the nearest hundreth. 66) How long will it take for $5300 to grow to $37,800 at an interest rate of 9.3% if the interest is compounded continuously? Round the number of years to the nearest hundredth. 67) A certain radioactive isotope has a half-life of approximately 1400 years. How many years to the nearest year would be required for a given amount of this isotope to decay to35% of that amount? 68) An artifact is discovered at a certain site. If it has 74% of the carbon-14 it originally contained, what is the approximate age of the artifact to the nearest year? (carbon-14 decays at the rate of 0.0125% annually.) 69) A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 0.15% annually. Determine the half-life of this isotope, to the nearest
