Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent the fraction of C-14 remaining as a function of the time t in years. Since the half-life of C-14 is about 5570 years, we have ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/5570)

Taking the log and solving for t, we get ...

  log(f) = (t/5570)log(1/2)

  5570·log(f)/log(1/2) = t

Filling in the given value for f, the value of t we get is ...

  5570·log(0.65)/log(0.5) = t ≈ 3462

It appears the estimate of 4000 years is a bit high.

Answer:

The value that will create an equation with no solutions is 5x.

Step-by-step explanation:

No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be  true no matter what value we assign to the variable.

To create a no solution equation, we can need to create a mathematical statement that is always false.  To do this, we need the variables on both sides of the equation to cancel each other out and have the remaining  values to not be equal.

Use distributive property on the left side first.

3(x - 4) = [blank] - 2x +7\\\\3x-12=5x - 2x +7\\\\3x-12=3x+7\\\\3x-12+12=3x+7+12\\\\3x=3x+19\\\\3x-3x=3x+19-3x\\\\0=19

Notice that we combined like terms first and then eliminated the variable from one side. When that  happened, the variable on the other side was eliminated as well, giving us a false result.

Since zero does not equal nineteen, we know we have an equation with no solution.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Joaquin's score is 75,72,85,62,58,91

and Trisha's score is 92,90,55,76,91,74

Arranging score in order of value we get

Joaquin's : 58,62,72,75,85,91

Trisha's : 55,74,76,90,91,92

as no of values is even therefore their median is

Joaquin's=\frac{72+75}{2}=73.5

Trisha's =\frac{76+90}{2}=83

Therefore median of Joaquin's is lower

Thus Joaquin wins the game
