If the basalt at the top of the ancient valley below Vulcan's Throne yields a radiometric date (K-Ar) of 15,000 years, and the l

owermost flows in the same valley yield an age of 1.2 million years, what is the rate of basalt filling in the valley in feet per million years (ft/my).

Answer:

1.69\times 10^3feet/million year

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Elevation of top of basalt in valley =4100 feet

Elevation of bottom of basalt in valley =2100 feet

Age of top of basalt in valley=15000 years

Age of bottom of basalt in valley=1.2 million years=1.2\times 10^6 years=1200000 years

We have to find the rate of basalt filling in the valley in feet per million yeas

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=\frac{Elevation\;of\;top\;of\;basalt\;in\;valley-elevation\;of\;bottom\;of\;basalt\;in\;valley}{age\;of\;bottom\;of\;basalt\;in\;valley-age\;of\;top\;of\;basalt\;in\;valley}

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=\frac{4100-2100}{1200000-15000}=\frac{2000}{1185000}=1.69\times 10^{-3} feet/year

Rate of basalt filling in the valley=1.69\times 10^{-3}\times 10^{6}=1.69\times 10^3feet/million year

Determine whether the number is divisible by 3.give a reason based on the tests for divisibility 72
snow_lady [41]

72 is dividable by 3. It is divisible by 3 because when you add 7 and 2, you get 9. According to the tests for divisibility, if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the whole number is. 9 is divisible by 3, therefore 72 is as well.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5^{\frac{2}{3} } is in exponential form.

<u>Now, radical form is </u>\sqrt[3]{5^{2} }

2) 5^{\frac{1}{2} } is in exponential form.

<u>Radical form is </u>\sqrt{5}

3) 3^{\frac{2}{5} } is in exponential form.

<u> Radical form is </u>\sqrt[5]{3^{2} }

4) 3^{\frac{5}{2} } is in exponential form.

<u> Radical form is </u>\sqrt{3^{5} }
