Answer:

15549 yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the decay constant r we use the formula

t1/2 = 0.693/r

t1/2 is the half-life 5700

5700 = 0.693/r

r = 0.693/5700 = 0.000122 per sec

For the 15% remaining from an initial value of 100%, time t is calculated from

N = Noe^(-rt)

0.15 = 1e^(-0.000122t)

we take natural log of both sides

Ln 0.15 = Ln e^(-0.000122t)

-1.897 = -0.000122t

t = -1.897/-0.000122 = 15549.18 yrs

Approximately 15549 yrs old

Select the correct answer. If f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x| − 4, which transformation is applied to f(x) to get g(x)? A. a vertical
Ainat [17]

Answer:

<em>D. a vertical transformation of f(x) four units downward</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x|

In f(x), for every x value you input into x, you get a corresponding y value.

Now look at g(x) = |x| - 4

The part |x| of g(x) gives you the same y-value for each x value as you had in f(x). The part -4, makes each y-value 4 less than it was in f(x). Since every y-value is 4 lower than the corresponding y-value of f(x), the function g(x) is a vertical translation of f(x) four units downward.
