Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 10 into g(x), then substitute the result into f(x)

g(10) = 10 - 4 = 6, then

f(6) = 6² + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

he radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years. A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost

Answer:

The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the element:

The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}$

In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years.

This means that $A(5750) = 0.5A(0)$ , and we use this to find k. So

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-kt}$

$0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-5750k}$

$e^{-5750k} = 0.5$

$\ln{e^{-5750k}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-5750k = \ln{0.5}$

$k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5750}$

$k = 0.00012054733$

$A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012054733t}$

A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 % of their carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were discovered?

Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:

$A(t) = 0.222A(0)$
