N = amount of C-14 at time t
k = 0.0001
t = time, in years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you need the age of the bowl. Start with the fact that you have remaining 28% of the original amount before any of it decayed. You always start with 100% of something unless you're told differently. That means that the equation looks like this:

[tex]28=100e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by 100 to get

[tex].28=e^{-.0001t}[/tex] . To solve for t we have to be able to bring it down from its current position of exponential. To do this we would either take the log or the natural log since the rules for both are the same. However, the natural log is the inverse of e, so they undo each other. We take the natural log of both sides which allows us to pull down the -.0001t. At the same time remember that the natural log and e are inverses of each other so they are both eliminated when we do this.

ln(.28) = -.0001t Now it's easy to solve for t.

[tex]\frac{ln(.28)}{-.0001}=t[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{-1.272965676}{-.0001}=t[/tex] so

t = 12729.65676 years or rounded, 12730 years.

Answer:

g(x) = |x-7|+4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we imagine trying to find the vertex of f(x) or the lowest part, we can always input x and y into each equation and see if they equal on either side.

The vertex is at points (7,4)

4=|7-7|+4 : 4=4.

Ardi and Lei are both travelling by train.
Ardi's train travels 70 km in 35 minutes.
Lei's train travels 585 km.
It leaves at 9:05 and arrives at 13:35.
Work out the difference, in km/h, between the average speed of their trains.

Answers

Answer:

10 kilometer/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

Ardi:

Total distance travelled = 70 km

Total time taken = 35 minutes = 35/60 hour

Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

= 70 km ÷ 35/60 hr

= 70 × 60/35

= 4,200/35

= 120 kilometer/hour

Lei:

Total distance travelled = 585 km Total time taken = 9:05 - 13:35 = 4 hours 30 minutes

= 4.5 hours

Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

= 585 km / 4.5 hours

= 130 kilometer/hour

Difference, in km/h, between the average speed of their trains = Lei's train - Ardi's train

= 130 kilometer/hour - 120 kilometer/hour

= 10 kilometer/hour

Grafico de deportes: fútbol 30%, atletismo 25%, tenis 5%, voleibol 10%, basquetbol 20%. Si 165 jóvenes prefieren el fútbol ¿cuantos prefieren el basquetbol?

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 2015. Which expression represents a for estimating the total output of wheat, in tons, in 2015?

A. 20 + 10 + 5
B. 20(10)(5)
C. 20 + 1.1 + 1.05
D. 20(1.1)(1.05)

Answers

Answer: Choice D

Explanation:

The increase of 9.8% rounds to 10% when rounding to the nearest ten

An increase of 10% would use the multiplier 1.1

Think of it like saying 1 + 0.10 = 100% + 10%

Similarly, the 5.1% rounds to 5% and an increase of this amount will use the multiplier 1.05

So if we started with 20 items, then 20(1.1)(1.05) is the expression that estimates an increase of 10% followed by an increase of 5%. The order doesn't matter (so you could increase by 5% first, then 10% later).

2/5x - 1/5y = 98
2/7x - 1/14y = 55
If the ordered pair (x, y) satisfies the system of
equations shown above, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] y = 98 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fractions )

2x - y = 490 → (1)

[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] y = 55 ( multiply through by 14 to clear the fractions )

4x - y = 770 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y

2x + 0 = 280

2x = 280 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 140

Answers

Answer:

you need to learn how to "prime factor" numbers....

primes are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17....

they go on forever. ALL whole numbers can be "broken down" into a bunch of primes multiplied together.

take the fractions (top and bottom) and start dividing them bu the smallest prime, and going up until all the numbers multiplied make the original number...

15 = 3 * 5

24= 2 * 12 = 2 * 2 * 6 = 2* 2* * 2 * 6

thus   [tex]\frac{15}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3 * 5 }{2* 2* 2* 3}[/tex]  now just cancel all the SAME numbers from to to bottom

"pair them up" .... in this case only one of the threes in the bottom "takes out" one of the threes in the top

result [tex]\frac{5}{2*2*2 } = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[tex]\frac{21}{35}[/tex]

21= 3 * 7

35= 5* 7

What is essential to remember when simplifying a cube root compared to a square
root?

Answers

Answer:

The cube root of a number x is the length of the side of a cube whose volume is x cubic units.

The square root of a number x is the length of the side of a square whose area is x square units.

Hence the words ‘cube’ and ‘square’.

Mathematicians have then generalized these two concepts for when x is not necessarily a volume of a cube or an area of a square

(a) Determine a cubic polynomial with integer coefficients which has $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$ as a root.

(b) Prove that $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$ is irrational.

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]x\³ - 6x - 6[/tex]

(b) Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]r = $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$[/tex] --- the root

Solving (a): The polynomial

A cubic function is represented as:

[tex]f = (a + b)^3[/tex]

Expand

[tex]f = a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f = a^3 + 3ab(a + b) + b^3[/tex]

The root is represented as:

[tex]r=a+b[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]a = $\sqrt[3]{2}[/tex]

[tex]b = \sqrt[3]{4}$[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f = ($\sqrt[3]{2})^3 + 3*$\sqrt[3]{2}*\sqrt[3]{4}$*($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$) + (\sqrt[3]{4}$)^3[/tex]

Expand

[tex]f = 2 + 3*$\sqrt[3]{2*4}*($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$) + 4[/tex]

[tex]f = 2 + 3*$\sqrt[3]{8}*($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$) + 4[/tex]

[tex]f = 2 + 3*2*($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$) + 4[/tex]

[tex]f = 2 + 6($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$) + 4[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]f = 6 + 6($\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$)[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]r = $\sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{4}$[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f = 6 + 6r[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]f - 6 - 6r = 0[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f - 6r - 6 = 0[/tex]

Express as a cubic function

[tex]x^3 - 6x - 6 = 0[/tex]

Hence, the cubic polynomial is:

[tex]f(x) = x^3 - 6x - 6[/tex]

Solving (b): Prove that r is irrational

The constant term of [tex]x^3 - 6x - 6 = 0[/tex] is -6

The divisors of -6 are: -6,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3,6

Calculate f(x) for each of the above values to calculate the remainder when f(x) is divided by any of the above values

[tex]f(-6) = (-6)^3 - 6*-6 - 6 = -186[/tex]

[tex]f(-3) = (-3)^3 - 6*-3 - 6 = -15[/tex]

[tex]f(-2) = (-2)^3 - 6*-2 - 6 = -2[/tex]

[tex]f(-1) = (-1)^3 - 6*-1 - 6 = -1[/tex]

[tex]f(1) = (1)^3 - 6*1 - 6 = -11[/tex]

[tex]f(2) = (2)^3 - 6*2 - 6 = -10[/tex]

[tex]f(3) = (3)^3 - 6*3 - 6 = 3[/tex]

[tex]f(6) = (6)^3 - 6*6 - 6 = 174[/tex]

For r to be rational;

The divisors of -6 must divide f(x) without remainder

i.e. Any of the above values  must equal 0

Since none equals 0, then r is irrational

which relation is a function?

Answers

the first one because there is only one y value for every x value. you can also use the vertical line test in which you draw vertical lines and make sure the function only passes through it once at each point

The first one because there is only one y value for every x value. The correct option is first.

To determine if a relation is a function, use the vertical line test: If any vertical line intersects the graph of the relation at more than one point, then the relation is not a function. On the other hand, if every vertical line intersects the graph of the relation at most once, then the relation is a function.

In first relation is considered a function, because each input x-value is associated with exactly one output y-value. In other words, for every x-value in the domain of the relation, there can be only one corresponding y-value in the range. Each x-value should not have more than one y-value associated with it.

Therefore, each x-value should not have more than one y-value associated with it. The correct option is first.
