The amount of carbon-14 present obeys an exponential decay law.

 

A(t) = A(0)e-^kt

 

Get k from the half-life:

 

0.5 = 1e-^k(5600)

 

k = ln(0.5) / (-5600 years) = 1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1

 

If only 73% of the carbon-14 remains after time T, then

 

0.73 = 1e^-kT

 

T = ln(0.73) / (-1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1) = 2542.5 years

 

The tree has been dead for about 2542.5 years.

Please help thanks :)

Question 1:

Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

You get.

7(x-1) = 4x+2

7x-7 = 4x+2

Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Question 2:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{x+1}{x+3} by 3.

We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.

\frac{3x+3}{3x+9} = \frac{15}{21}

Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.

3x+3 = 15

3x+9 = 21

If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.

That's your answer.

Hope this helps! :)
