An old campfire is uncovered during an archaeological dig. Its charcoal is found to contain less than 1/1000 the normal amount of [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] . Estimate the minimum age of the charcoal, noting that [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex]
Answer:
57300 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the relation of an half-life time in relation to fraction which can be expressed as:
[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = (\dfrac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]
here;
N represents the present atom
[tex]N_o[/tex] represents the initial atom
t represents the time
[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] represents the half - life
Given that:
Its charcoal is found to contain less than 1/1000 the normal amount of [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] .
Then ;
[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}[/tex]
However; we are to estimate the minimum age of the charcoal, noting that [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex]
so noting that [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex], then:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{1024}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}[/tex]
If
[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}[/tex]
Then
[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} > (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}[/tex]
Therefore, the estimate of the minimum time needed is 10 half-life time.
For [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] , the normal half-life time = 5730 years
As such , the estimate of the minimum age of the charcoal = 5730 years × 10
= 57300 years
The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of −0.4. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 11 hours is 16.6 centimeters. What was the height of the candle after 6 hours?
Answer:
height of the candle after 6 hours= 18.6 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
the function gives a line with a slope of −0.4.
the height of the candle after 11 hours is 16.6 centimeters.
after 6 hours, the height will be
But slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
Y2 is the unknown
Y1 = 16.6
X1= 11 hours
X2= 6 hours
y2-y1/x2-x1= -0.4
(Y2-16.6)/(6-11)= -0.4
(Y2-16.6)/(-5)= -0.4
(Y2-16.6)= -5( -0.4)
(Y2-16.6)= 2
Y2 = 2+16.6
Y2 = 18.6 centimeters
height of the candle after 6 hours= 18.6 centimeters
-40=-8(x+2) solve the equation
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-40 = -8 (x + 2)
-8 (x + 2) = -40 --- divide both sides by - 8
-8 (x + 2) -40
-------------- = ----------
-8 -8
x + 2 = 5 --- subtract 2 from both sides
x + 2 - 2 = 5 - 2 then simplify
x = 3
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write out the equation as you have been given it:
[tex]-40=-8(x+2)[/tex]
Then distribute the -8 to the terms inside the parenthesis:
[tex]-40=-8x-16[/tex]
Next, add 16 to both sides:
[tex]-40+16=-8x-16+16\\-24=-8x[/tex]
Finally, divide both sides by -8:
[tex]\frac{-24}{-8}=\frac{-8x}{-8}\\3=x[/tex]
Therefore, x=3.
you pick a card at random from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. If the card is an ace, you get 9 points; if not, you lose a point
Answer: a = 9, b = 48, c = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
"a" represents the points you receive if an Ace is picked. It is given that you get 9 points ----> a = 9
"b" represents the number of cards that are Not an Ace. 4 cards in the deck are Aces so 52 - 4 = 48 cards are Not an Ace -----> b = 48
"c" represents the points you receive if Not an Ace is picked. It is given that you lose 1 point ----> c = -1

can anyone ans this question
Answer:
Question 1: the angle of y is the same as 49 degrees.
So, y = 49 degrees.
y + x = straight line
=> Straight line = 180 degrees
=> 49 + x = 180
=> 49 - 49 + x = 180 - 49
=> x = 131
Answer to Question 1:
x = 131 degrees
y = 49 degrees
Question 2: Angle x is the same as 119 degrees
x + y = straight line
=> Straight line = 180 degrees
=> 119 + y = 180
=> 119 - 119 + y = 180 - 119
=> y = 61
y + z = straight line
=> Straight line = 180 degrees
=> 61 + z = 180
=> 61 - 61 + z = 180 - 61
=> z = 119
Answer to Question 2:
x = 119 degrees
y = 61 degrees
z = 119 degrees
HELP PLEASE!! I have been working on this for about three hours!!
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/ ( x2-x1)
= (60-64)/( 10-0)
= -6/10
= -2/5
The y intercept is (0,64)
The slope intercept form of the equation is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -2/5 x + 64 where y is in the thousands of feet
m = -2/5 * 1000 = -400 ft / minute
The height decreases since the sign is negative
The height decreases 400 ft per minute
The y intercept is (0,64)
64 is in the thousands of ft
64*1000 = 64,000 ft
When it starts, it is at 64,000 ft
The descent starts at a cruising altitude of 64,000 ft
Suppose that you want to estimate the mean pH of rainfalls in an area that suffers from heavy pollution due to the discharge of smoke from a power plant. Assume that σ is in the neighborhood of .5 pH and that you want your estimate to lie within .1 of µ with probability near .95. Approximately how many rainfalls must be included in your sample (one pH reading per rainfall)? Would it be valid to select all of your water specimens from a single rainfall? Explain.
Answer:
The number of rainfalls is [tex]n =96[/tex]
The answer to the second question is no it will not be valid this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid.
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question we are told that
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]
The margin of error is [tex]E = 0.1[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then we can evaluate the level of significance as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha =0.05[/tex]
Next we will obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as
[tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.5 }{ 0.1} ]^2[/tex]
[tex]n =96[/tex]
The answer to the second question is no the validity is null this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean, we need to do:
=> (12 + 10 + 11 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 7 + 9) / 9
=> 71/9
=> 7.88 or 7.9

A movie theater is having a special. If a group of four pays $7.25 each for tickets, each person can get popcorn and a drink for $5.75. Use the expression 4(5.75 + 7.25) to find the total cost for 4 friends.
Answer:
The price for 4 people is 52 dollars.
4 × (5.75 + 7.25) = 52
The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition.
How to form an equation?Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.
In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.
Cost of movie ticket = $7.25/person
Cost of popcorn and drink = $5.75/person
Total cost per person = 5.75 + 7.25 = $13
Now,
Number of people = 4
So,
4(5.75 + 7.25) = 4(13) = $52
Hence "The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition".

Which equation will solve the following word problem? Jared has 13 cases of soda. He has 468 cans of soda. How many cans of soda are in each case? 13(468) = c 468c = 13 468/13 = c 13 = c/468
Answer:
c = 468 / 13
Step-by-step explanation:
If c is the number of cans of soda in each case, we know that the number of cans in 13 cases is 13 * c = 13c, and since the number of cans in 13 cases is 468 and we know that "is" denotes that we need to use the "=" sign, the equation is 13c = 468. To get rid of the 13, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 13 because division is the opposite of multiplication, therefore the answer is c = 468 / 13.
Answer:
468/13 = c
Step-by-step explanation: Further explanation :
[tex]13 \:cases = 468\:cans\\1 \:case\:\:\:\:= c\: cans\\Cross\:Multiply \\\\13x = 468\\\\\frac{13x}{13} = \frac{468}{13} \\\\c = 36\: cans[/tex]
Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
So we already know that:
[tex]2^x=30[/tex]
And we want to find the value of:
[tex]2^{x+3}[/tex]
So, what you want to do here is to separate the exponents. Recall the properties of exponents, where:
[tex]x^2\cdot x^3=x^{2+3}=x^5[/tex]
We can do the reverse of this. In other words:
[tex]2^{x+3}=2^x\cdot 2^3[/tex]
If we multiply it back together, we can check that this statement is true.
Thus, go back to the original equation and multiply both sides by 2^3:
[tex]2^x(2^3)=30(2^3)\\[/tex]
Combine the left and multiply out the right. 2^3 is 8:
[tex]2^{x+3}=30(8)\\2^{x+3}=240[/tex]

A semicircular plate with radius 7 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 3 m above the surface. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)
Answer:
F = 585844 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A semicircular plate with radius 7 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 3 m above the surface.
The objective of this question is to express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it.
To start with the equation of a circle: a² + b² = r²
The equation of circle with radius r = 7 can be expressed as:
a² + b² = 7²
a² + b² = 49
b² = 49 - a²
b = [tex]\sqrt{49 -a}[/tex]
NOW;
The integral of the hydrostatic force with a semicircular plate with radius 7 m and the top is 3 m above the surface can be calculated as follows:
[tex]\mathtt{F = 2 \rho g \int \limits^7_3 (a -3) \sqrt{49 -y^2} \ \ da}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{F = 2 \rho g \begin {pmatrix}\dfrac{\sqrt{49 -a^2} \ (2a^2-9a - 98)-(441 \times sin^{-1} (\dfrac{a}{3})) }{6} \end{pmatrix}}[/tex]
where;
density of water is 1000 kg/m3
and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s
Solving the integral; we have:
F = 2 × 1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s × (29.89)
F = 585844 N

Step-by-step explanation:
A dependent system of equations has an infinite number of solutions.
When you graph the system of equations, both the equations represent the same line and have an infinite number of solutions.
What is the equation of the line?
The line cuts the X axis at [tex]x=3[/tex] and is parallel to the Y axis.
Thus the equation of the line is $\boxed{x=3}$
Answer:
The equation of the line is x = 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a line is parallel to the y-axis, its gradient will be undefined. There is no y-intercept and the line touches x-axis so the equation is x = 3.
The chart shows a certain city's population by age. Assume that the selections are independent events. If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.
Answer:
0.000014
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:
City X's Population by Age
0-24 years old 33%
25-44 years old 22%
45-64 years old 21%
65 or older 24%
In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
probability that the first 2 are 65 or older
Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older
The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24
So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:
0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)
P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24
= 0.0576
P(A) = 0.0576
probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
25-44 years old 22% i.e. 0.22
So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:
0.22 * 0.22* 0.22
P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22
= 0.010648
P(B) = 0.010648
probability that next 2 are 24 or younger
Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger
0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33
So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:
0.33 * 0.33
P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33
= 0.1089
P(C) = 0.1089
probability that last is 45-64 years old
Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old
45-64 years old 21% i.e. 0.21
So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:
0.21
P(D) = 0.21
So probability of these independent events is computed as:
P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)
= 0.0576 * 0.010648 * 0.1089 * 0.21
= 0.000014

The following shape is based only on squares, semicircles, and quarter circles. Find the area of the shaded part.
Answer:
36.53 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Picture this repeated four times to make a circle. The circle would have a radius of 8. [tex]\pi[/tex]r² would give us 201.06. One quarter of that would be 50.265.
The area of the square is length times width, or 8X8=64.
64-50.265=13.735. That would be ONE of the non shaded sections of the square. If you take that away twice, the leftover part would be the shaded area.
64-13.735-13.735=36.53 cm²

please answer this question please
Step-by-step explanation:
C = Amount (A) - Principal (P)
Where
C is the compound interest
To find the amount we use the formula
[tex]A = P ({1 + \frac{r}{100} })^{n} [/tex]
where
P is the principal
r is the rate
n is the period / time
From the question
P = Rs 12, 000
r = 5%
n = 3 years
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
[tex]A = 12000 ({1 + \frac{5}{100} })^{3} \\ A = 12000(1 + 0.05)^{3} \\ A = 12000 ({1.05})^{3} [/tex]
We have the answer as
Amount = Rs 13891.50Compound interest = 13891.50 - 12000
Compound interest = Rs 1891.50Hope this helps you
