The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years. A fossil had 6 picograms of carbon-14 at one point in time. (A picogram is a trillionth of a gram or 1*10^{-12} gram.)
Which expression describes the amount of carbon-14, in picograms, years after it was measured to be 6 picograms.

The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years. A tree fossil was estimated to have about 4.2 picograms of carbon-14 when it died. (A picogram is a trillionth of a gram.)
The fossil now has about 0.5 picogram of carbon-14. About how many years ago did the tree die? Show your reasoning.

Tyler says that the function f(x)=5^{x} is exponential and so it grows by equal factors over equal intervals. He says that factor must be \sqrt[10]{5} for an interval of \frac{1}{10} because ten of those intervals makes an interval of length 1.
Do you agree with Tyler? Explain your reasoning.
