Answer: 2500 years
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right myself but I'll give it a shot.
We use this formula to find half-life but we can just plug in the numbers we know to find <em>t</em>.
We know half-life is 5730 years and that the parchment has retained 74% of its Carbon-14. For 
let's just assume that there are 100 original atoms of Carbon-14 and for A(t) let's assume there are 74 Carbon-14 atoms AFTER the amount of time has passed. That way, 74% of the C-14 still remains as 74/100 is 74%. Not quite sure how to explain it but I hope you get it. <em>h</em> is the last variable we need to know and it's just the half-life, which has been given to us already, 5730 years, so now we have this.
Now, solve. First, divide by 100.
Take the log of everything
Divide the entire equation by log (0.5) and multiply the entire equation by 5730 to isolate the <em>t</em> and get
Use your calculator to solve that giant mess for <em>t </em>and you'll get that <em>t</em> is roughly 2489.128182 years. Round that to the nearest hundred years, and you'll find the hopefully correct answer is 2500 years.
Really hope that all the equations that I wrote came out good and that that's right, this is definitely the longest answer I've ever written.

Answer:
Average cost per litre of diesel = rs 8.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount spent on diesel each year = rs 4000
Price of a litre of diesel in the first year = rs 7.50
Price of a litre of diesel in the second year = rs 8.00
Price of a litre of diesel in the third year = rs 8.50
Average cost per litre of diesel = 
where n is the number of years.
Average cost per litre of diesel = 
= 
= 8
Average cost per litre of diesel is rs 8.00
So that he buys an average of 500 (i.e 
) litres every year.
Answer:
the best way to to do this would be to use a protractor, if you don't have one you would have to guess on the 15 degrees, but it would be a very small angle
Answer:
a.70. b.50
Step-by-step explanation:
- If Cartie takes $10 from her account for 7 days she would have taken $70 out.
- Next we look at the net problem it is asking us how much is left we already know from the equation above that we need to subtract 70 from 120
- We now have both answers A. being that she would have taken $70 in total out of her account and B. being that she would have $50 left in her account.
