SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have

\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ 0.65N_0=N_0e^{-0.0001t} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=\frac{0.65N_0}{N_0} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=0.65 \end{gathered}

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

\begin{gathered} ln(e^{-0.000t})=ln(0.65) \\ -0.0001t=ln(0.65) \\ t=\frac{ln(0.65)}{-0.0001} \\ t=4307.82916 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year

Steve earned $7.40 per hour working his paper route. The first week, he worked 16 hours. After getting paid, he put $105 in the
prisoha [69]

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply Steve’s hourly wage ($7.40) by the hours he worked in a week (16 Hours) that would give you your weekly earnings which would be (7.40x16=$118.40) Then subtract what he saved in the bank from your total (118.40-105=$13.40) then you would divide $13.40 (his leftover money) by $0.75 to find the total number of carnival rides he could ride (13.40/0.75=17.86 rides and because he cannot ride 17 and 86 hundredths of a ride he would be able to ride 17 carnival rides.

<em>(If one square on the graph = one centimeter)</em>

<u>b = 10cm</u>

<u>b = 10cmh = 10cm</u>

Area:

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times b \times \: h

=  \frac{1}{2 }  \times 10 \times 10

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 100

= 50 {cm}^{2}
