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 }

Answer:

a) 0

b)2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Basically, the question is asking what the x value is when the y value is at 4, which would be 0.

b) Same thing here, but with the x value is when the y value is -2.

Darpana solved the equation s = StartFraction a + b + c Over 3 EndFraction for a. Her steps are shown below: 1. Multiply by 3: s
Harman [31]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is :

s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{3}

The equation can be solved for a as follows :

Step 1.

Cross multiply the given equation

3s=a+b+c

Step 2.

Now subtract b on both sides

3s-b = a+b+c-b

3s-b = a+c

Step 3.

Subtract c on both sides

3s-b-c=a+c-c

⇒ a=3s-b-c

The statement that is true for Darpana is " In step 3, she needed to subtract c rather than divide".
