Chapter 9.C, Problem 8QQ
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5700 years, and carbon-14 is incorporated into the bones of a living organism only while it is alive. Suppose you have found a human hone at an archaeological site and you want to use carbon-14 to determine how long ago the person died. Which of the following additional pieces of information would allow you to do the calculation?
- only the amount of carbon-14 in the hone today
- both the amount of carbon-14 in the bone today and the rate at which carbon-14 decays
- both the amount of carbon-14 in the bone today and the amount it contained at the time the person died

In the integral dxf1dy (7)², make the change of variables x = ½(r− s), y = ½(r + s), and
evaluate the integral. Hint: Find the limits on r and s by sketching the area of integration in the (x, y) plane along
with the r and s axes, and then show that the same area can be covered by s from 0 to r and r from 0 to 1.
