The half-life of carbon-14, 14C, is approximately 5,730 years. A bone fragment is estimated to have originally contained 6 milli

grams of 14C. Write the exponential decay equation where A is the amount (in mg) of carbon-14 remaining in the bone fragment after t years.

Answer:

A(t)=6\cdot2^{-\frac{t}{5730 }

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for exponential decay given a half-life t_\frac{1}{2} is

N(t)=N_{0}\cdot2^{\frac{-t}{t_{1/2} }      

where N(t) is the amount at time t, N_0 is the initial amount (at time t=0), and t_\frac{1}{2} is the half life of the substance.

The half life of carbon-14, is approximately 5,730 years.

t_\frac{1}{2} = 5730 years

N_0= 6 milligrams

Therefore:

Amount of carbon-14 remaining in the bone fragment after t years is:

A(t)=6\cdot2^{-\frac{t}{5730 }

Please help! I need help with part B if 1000 students were surveyed what would the probability be of how many plays sports?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

188 students would play sports, out of 1,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability that a random high school student plays a sport is 0.188 (150/800), which means for every 1 high school student 0.188 of them play a sport. Multiply 0.188x1,000 to get 188 students who play a sport.

The monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Given:

Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month  and $2 per visit.

Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for  the month.

To find:

The number of times he visit the pool.

Solution:

We have,

Monthly fee of pool = $8

Additional fee = $2 per visit

Let Hector visit x times.

Additional fee for x times = $2x

Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee

34=8+2x

34-8=2x

26=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{26}{2}=x

13=x

Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 16

This is the difference of squares

which factors as

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 4)

Therefor the negative zero is

x = -4
