The half-life of carbon-14 is 5600 years. If a piece of charcoal made from the wood of a tree shows only 72% of the carbon-14 expected in living matter, when did the tree die?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

t =2654.01465 year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the​ half-life of​ carbon-14 is 5600 years and if a piece of charcoal made from the wood of a tree shows only 72% of the​ carbon-14 expected in living​ matter.

we know

[tex]y=a(b)^{t/h}[/tex]

where y= final amount

a= initial amount

b= growth/decay

t= time elapsed

h= half time

plugging the values we get

[tex]0.72 =(\frac{1}{2})^{t/5600}\\[/tex]

taking log on both side

log 0.72 = t/5600 log(1/2)

solving we get t =2654.01465 year

Which figure represents an undefined term?

Answers

Answer: 4th figure , where XY is a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 undefined terms : 1)  point  2) line 3 ) plane

From up to down, The first figure is representing ray( end point at X ) which is an defined term and it is defined as "A ray is a line with one end point."

The second figure is representing a line segment with 2 end-points at X and Y and it is and defined term and it is defined as "A line segment is a line with 2 end points."

The third figure is a joint of two rays and they are making an angle which is again an defined term.

The last figure is representing a line which has no endpoints and is an undefined term.

Hence, the last figure is representing an undefined term "line".

What simple interest rate would allow $6000 to grow to an amount of $14550 in 10 years?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \: 14.25 \: \% \: }}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Principal ( P ) = $ 6000

Amount ( A ) = $ 14550

Time ( T ) = 10 years

Rate ( R ) = ?

Finding the Interest

The sum of principal and interest is called an amount.

From the definition,

[tex] \boxed{ \sf{Amount = \: Principal + Interest}}[/tex]

plug the values

⇒[tex] \sf{14550 = 6000 + Interest}[/tex]

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒[tex] \sf{6000 + Interest = 14550}[/tex]

Move 6000 to right hand side and change its sign

⇒[tex] \sf{Interest = 14550 - 6000}[/tex]

Subtract 6000 from 14550

⇒[tex] \sf{Interest = \: 8550 \: }[/tex]

Interest = $ 8550

Finding the rate

[tex] { \boxed{ \sf{Rate = \frac{Interest \times 100}{Principal \times Time}}}} [/tex]

plug the values

⇒[tex] \sf{ Rate = \frac{8550 \times 100}{6000 \times 10} }[/tex]

Calculate

⇒[tex] \sf{Rate = \frac{855000}{60000} }[/tex]

⇒[tex] \sf{Rate = 14.25 \: \% \: }[/tex]

Answers

Answer:hi

Step-by-step explanation:Let me first warn you that I CANNOT get the denominators of this problem to go underneath the numerators. It looks good on my answer page but when I click "preview your answer" the denominators are ALL over the place. Grrrrr.

I think the weirdly placed denominators make this explanation hard to understand but you give this a go and see if you understand things. If it is too hard to see, maybe this website will let you instant message me or email me. If so, then I will send you the solution via email. I'm very sorry the denominators are SO scattered.

See what you think of the explanations below but it might help if you write down my answer on paper, so that you can move the number to rest more closely under their proper numerators. :-)

Ok then......

Let's start with your first problem. A quick way to do this work is to cross multiply. Here's what I mean:

__3___ = __6___

r - 1 r + 2

Ok, so you can cross multiply:

3(r + 2) = 6(r - 1) (cross multiply)

3r + 6 = 6r - 6 (use the distributive property)

Now you will have to put the "r" variables on the left side of the equal sign and numbers without variables on the right side of the equal sign. To get 6r from the right side to the left, you can subtract 6r from the right side. If you subtract it from the right, you must subtract it from the left.....

To get 6 from the left side to the right, you can subtract it from the left. If you subtract it from the left, you must subtract it on the right.....

So now you have:

3r - 6r = -6 - 6 This becomes.........

- 3r = -12

Now to solve for "r" you will have to divide by -3. Why? Well, -3r is really saying: -3 times r. The -3 and the r are actually being multiplied together so to isolate the "r" you have to sort of "undo" the multiplication. What is the opposite of multiplication? It's DIVISION. Soooo, you must divide by -3 on both sides. SO you have:

- 3r = -12

r = 4 (-12 divided by -3 is a positive 4)

Now you know "r" equals 4. If we "plug" 4 back into the original equation, we can see the answer is correct. Check this out:

__3___ = __6___ (original equation)

r - 1 r + 2

__3___ = __6___ (substitute "4" in for "r"

4 - 1 4 + 2

__3___ = __6___ (do the math in the denominator area)

 

3 6

1 = 1 (3/3 equals 1 and 6/6 also equals 1, so our

solution that r = 4 is correct!) :-)

Now to your 2nd problem..........

4/2x-5 = 24/2x

___4___ = __24___

2x � 5 2x

Let's cross multiply again:

4(2x) = 24(2x - 5)

8x = 48x - 120

8x - 48x = - 120

-40x = - 120

(divide both sides by -40)

x = 3

Now let's "plug" 3 in where we had the variable "x" in the original equation to see if we are correct.

___4___ = __24___ (original equation)

2x � 5 2x

___4___ = __24___ (substituted 3 for "x")

2(3) � 5 2(3)

___4___ = __24___

6 - 5 6

___4___ = __24___

1 6

4 = 4

SO once again we have found the correct answer. Yay for us! :-)

I hope this helps. :-)

Answer:

[tex]r=9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

[tex]-8(6-r)=24[/tex]

Divide both sides by -8:

[tex]6-r=-3[/tex]

Subtract 6 from both sides:

[tex]-r=-9[/tex]

Divide both sides by -1:

[tex]r=9[/tex]

4. A rock is placed in a graduated cylinder with 40-mL of water in it. The water level rises to 60-mL. When placed on a balance scale it takes 54 grams of gram stackers to balance the scale. What is the density of the rock?

Answers

Answer:

2.7 [tex]g/mL[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object will be its mass over volume.

We know that the mass of this rock is 54 grams because it took 54 grams of gram stackers to balance the scale. If we have a balanced scale, that means the amount of weight on either side is equal. So the mass is 54 grams.

Also, we can tell that the volume of the rock is 20 mL. This is because, according to Archimedes principle, if you put an object in water, the amount of water displacement will be it's volume. So the amount of water displacement is [tex]60-40=20[/tex] mL.

Density is mass over volume, so the density is [tex]54\div20 = 2.7[/tex]. Density is measure in mass over volume, so [tex]g/mL[/tex].

So 2.7  [tex]g/mL[/tex] is the density of the rock.

Combine like terms

x^2 +6x -15

Answer:

x²+6x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this expression:

[tex](3x^2+2x-8) - ( 2x^2-4x+7)[/tex]

We want to simplify the expression. First, distribute the negative sign in front of the second set of parentheses. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -1.

[tex](3x^2+2x-8) + (-1*2x^2) + (-1*-4x) + (-1*7)[/tex]

[tex](3x^2+2x-8) -2x^2+ 4x -7[/tex]

Next, combine like terms. The 2 terms with an x² can be combined, just like the two terms with an x, and the two terms without a variable.

[tex](3x^2-2x^2) + (2x+4x) + (-8-7)[/tex]

[tex]x^2+(2x+4x)+(-8-7)[/tex]

A. Use composition to prove whether or not the functions are inverses of each other. B. Express the domain of the compositions using interval notation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A). If a function 'f' is inverse of another function 'g',

Then f[g(x)] = x = g[f(x)]

In this question the given functions are,

f(x) = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}[/tex] and g(x) = [tex]\frac{3x+1}{x}[/tex]

Then, f[g(x)] = [tex]\frac{1}{\frac{3x+1}{x}-3}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{x}{3x+1-3x}[/tex]

                    = x

Similarly, g[f(x)] = [tex]\frac{(\frac{3}{x-3})+1}{\frac{1}{x-3} }[/tex]

                         = [tex]\frac{3+x-3}{1}[/tex]

                         = x

Therefore, Both the functions are inverse of each other.

B). Domain of the compositions of these functions will be a set of all real numbers, (-∞, ∞)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=(\frac{(2x-2)(x^3+3)-(x^2-2x)(3x^2)}{(x^3+3)^2})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find the derivative of the rational equation:

[tex]y=\frac{x^2-2x}{x^3+3}[/tex]

First, recall the quotient rule:

[tex](\frac{f}{g})'=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}[/tex]

Let f be x^2-2x and let g be x^3+3.

Calculate the derivatives of each:

[tex]f=x^2-2x\\f'=2x-2[/tex]

[tex]g=x^3+3\\g=3x^2[/tex]

So:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=(\frac{x^2-2x}{x^3+3})'[/tex]

Use the above format:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{f'g-fg'}{g^2}\\\frac{dy}{dx}=(\frac{(2x-2)(x^3+3)-(x^2-2x)(3x^2)}{(x^3+3)^2})[/tex]

And that's our answer :)

An object is moving at a speed of 3 kilometers per hour. Express this speed in feet per
minute. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

The speed of the object in feet per minute to nearest whole number is 164feet/min

Speed is the ratio of the distance to the time of an object. Mathematically;

Speed = Distance/Time

Given the following

Speed = 3km/hr

Using the conversion ratio

1km = 3280.84feet

3km = x

Cross multiply

x = 3 * 3280.84

x = 9,842.52feet

Convert 1 hour to minute

1 hour = 60minutes

Get the speed in feet per minutes

Speed in feet/minutes = [tex]\frac{9,842.52}{60}[/tex]

Speed in feet/minutes = 164.042 feet/minutes

Hence the speed of the object in feet per minute to nearest whole number  is 164feet/min
