Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Decay of carbon - 14 is exponential in nature . It decays as follows .

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}  λ is called decay constant .

λ = .693 / T where T is half life .

Half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years

λ = .693 / T

= .693 / 5700

= 12.158 x 10⁻⁵ year⁻¹

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t}

N = .71 N₀

.71 N_0 =N_0e^{-\lambda t}

.71  =e^{-\lambda t}

Taking ln on both sides

ln .71 = - λ t

ln .71 = - 12.158 x 10⁻⁵  t

-0.3425 =  - 12.158 x 10⁻⁵  t

t = .3425 / 12.158 x 10⁻⁵

2817  years .

Algebra Complete the table.Write the
AURORKA [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>In the second column, we can see that every value of n is being added by 6. </em>

  • Thus, the expression is n + 6.

<em>Now, let's substitute the value of n in each column to verify each column. Then, using the expression, let's find the value of n + 6 where n = 28.</em>

<u>When n is 12:</u>

  • n + 6 = 18
  • 12 + 6 = 18
  • 18 = 18

<u>When n is 15:</u>

  • n + 6 = 21
  • 15 + 6 = 21
  • 21 = 21

<u>When n is 21:</u>

  • n + 6 = 27
  • 21 + 6 = 27
  • 27 = 27

<em>Thus, the expression is proven correct. Now, let's find n + 6 when n is 28.</em>

<u>Finding n + 6 when n is 28:</u>

  • n + 6 = x
  • 28 + 6 = x
  • 34 = x

Thus, the missing value in the table is 34.
