4 batches times 16 = 64 ounces /8 = 8 cups 8 oz in one cup
4 batches Times 3 pints = 12 pints times 2 cups per pint =24 cups
8 + 24 cups= 32 cups
t = 12040 years
N=NOe^-kt
N = amount of C-14 at time t
NO = initial amount of C-14
k= 0.0001
t = time (unknown)
We know that the amount found is 30% of the original. Therefore we can simply set N to 30 and NO to 100 because 30% of 100 is 30. Really you can give any amount, but setting it at 100 is the easiest, so long as N is 30% of NO.
so if we set the problem up again using all the given values and the new ones we assigned:
N= 30
NO = 100
30=100e^-0.0001(t)
Remember, you are solving for t, so you have to try and manipulate the formula to get t by itself on one side.
We can divide both sides by 100 and you are left with:
.30=e^-0.0001(t)
You can see that you have "e" which means we can use natural log to get rid of e:
e^y = x and ln(x) = y
.30=e^-0.0001(t)
using the natural log,
.30 = x
-0.0001(t) = y
Therefore:
ln (x) = y
ln (.30) = -0.0001(t)
plug in the value ln(.30) into a calculator and you get:
-1.20397 = -0.0001(t)
*NOTE: normally it would not work if you have a negative answer because you cannot have negative years, however, there is a negative on the other side of the equation which will cancel out so it works in this case.
now to solve for t, we simply divide both sides by -0.0001
Therefore
t = 12039.7
But you have to round to the nearest year so
t = 12040
**NOTE: the k value given (which is the rate at which C-14 decays each year) is very small. That means that you will have a large value for time because it takes so long for the C-14 to decay every year.
Hope that helped :)
Answer:
<em>$1.50</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total weekly pay of Hector modeled by the equation;
y = 10(8.5 + x)
We are to find the amount of Hector's raise per hour x given the total oay y = $100
Substitute y = 100 into the equation and find x as shown;
y = 10(8.5 + x)
100 = 10(8.5+x)
100/10 = 8.5 + x
10 = 8.5 + x
x = 10 - 8.5
<em>x = 1.5</em>
<em>Hence the amount of Hector's raise per hour is $1.50</em>
= [3x3^-2x(-2)^6/2x3^-1x(-2)^5]^2 = 1
Answer: y-3y
Step-by-step explanation: The expression -3y+y is equivalent to y-3y because both terms are the same but simply arranged in a different order; both -3y and y are in each equation.
