Yeah it’s My favorite I’m really excellent in Math That’s My 1st favorite subject
Answer:
The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of the element:
The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.
The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years.
This means that
, and we use this to find k. So







So

A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 % of their carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were discovered?
Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:

Then






The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.
The given expression can be simplified in many ways by grouping like terms. The simplest form is obtained by factoring out a²b which gives us the following expression.
a²b(7 + 10b +14b²)
To answer this, we need the original equation.
Answer:
Six Tenths in numerical form is 6/10, and "translated" into a decimal it would be 0.6
