The amount of carbon-14 in an object is given by y = ae– 0.00012t where a is the initial amount of carbon and t is the age in years. A fossil bone contains 25% of its original carbon-14. What is the approximate age of the bone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate age of the bone is approximately 11552 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current proportion of carbon-14 with respect to its original amount is defined by following formula:

[tex]\frac{y}{a} = e^{-0.00012\cdot t}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]y[/tex] - Current amount of carbon-14, no unit.

[tex]a[/tex] - Initial amount of carbon-14, no unit.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in years.

If we know that [tex]\frac{y}{a} = 0.25[/tex], then the approximate age of the bone is:

[tex]t = -8333.333\cdot \ln \frac{y}{a}[/tex]

[tex]t\approx 11552.453\,yr[/tex]

The approximate age of the bone is approximately 11552 years.

Find the unit rate for each, then compare. Which is faster?
8 laps in 70 seconds
12 laps in 98 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

8 laps in 70 seconds is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide 70/8 and 98/12 we get the following:

70/8= 8.75

98/12=8.16

8.75>8.16

The unit rate is 1 lap in 8.75 seconds and 1 lap in 8.16 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require to find the values of a and b

Given

(a - 1) + (b + 3)i = 5 + 8i

Equate the real and imaginary parts on both sides , that is

a - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )

a = 6

and

b + 3 = 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

b = 5

Answer:

16.1, 16, 16

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we are going to do the mean :)

you add all the number together and divide by the same number

you should get 354/22 which is 16.0909....... since its round to tenth place, we place it at 16.1.

2)  median, for this one, you have to lay out the numbers and see which one is in the middle, in 14,15,16,17,19, 16 is the median.

3)  the number that appear the most is the mode, so right now we have

three 17s and six 16s, don't worry about the others because its not in the answer choice, so its 16.

Explain, using an example, why you need to multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit

Answers

Answer:

This is often called scaling in math, used in ratios, fraction, percent's etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

You can use similar processes when converting from smaller to larger units. When converting a larger unit to a smaller one, you multiply; when you convert a smaller unit to a larger one, you divide. Here is an example..

5. Use your equation to estimate the cost of printing Sarah's 300-page book.​

Answers

1. Y-intercept b=5

That means it has a 5.00 starting fee.

2. Using the formula (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) we will find the slope between the two points.

Point one (X1 and Y1) will be the Y-intercept.

X1,Y1 = (0, 5.00)

Point 2 (X2 and Y2) will be the point on the trend line.

X2, Y2 = (200, 6.00)

Plug in:

(6.00 - 5.00)/(200 - 0) = 00.5 or 1/200.

3. When printing 200 pages each page will cost $.005.

What are the asymptote and the y-intercept of the function shown in the graph?

f(x) = 3(0.2)^x + 2

A. asymptote: y = -2
y-intercept: (0,5)

B. asymptote: y = 2
y-intercept: (0,5)

C. asymptote: y = 2
y-intercept: (0,4)

D. asymptote: y = -2
y-intercept: (0,3)

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The function reaches the y-axis at the point (0,5).

The asymptote is the line that the function follows but never quite reaches. In this case, the function follows the path of y = 2. However, it never exactly fits the line.

The y-intercept is (0,5) and the asymptote is y = 2. The answer, then, is B.

Good luck ^^

The equation of the asymptote is y = 2 and the coordinate of the y-intercept will be (0, 5). Then the correct option is B.

What is asymptote?

An asymptote is a line that constantly reaches a given curve, but does not touch at any infinite distance.

The equation of the function is given below.

[tex]\rm f(x) = 3(0.2)^x + 2[/tex]

The asymptote of the function is given as by substituting x as infinity, then the equation of the asymptote will be

[tex]\rm y = 3(0.2)^{\infty} + 2\\\\y = 2[/tex]

Then the y-intercept of the function will be given by substituting y = 0, then the y-intercept will be

y = 3(0.2)⁰ + 2

y = 3 + 2

y = 5

The coordinate of the y-intercept will be (0, 5).

Then the correct option is B.
