2/1 or 2
either or is correct, just depends on how your teacher prefers your answers to be
Hello :
the discriminat of each quadratic equation : ax²+bx+c=0 ....(a <span>≠ 0) is :
</span><span>Δ = b² -4ac
1 ) </span>Δ > 0 the equation has two reals solutions : x = (-b±√Δ)/2a
2 ) Δ = 0 : one solution : x = -b/2a
3 ) Δ <span>< 0 : no reals solutions</span>
Answer:
sorry but this photo is not clear
Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
n = 3819.48
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.
