A student in Greece discovers a pottery bowl

Mathematics
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The age of the pottery bowl to the nearest year is 15606 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial amount of C-14 in the bowl i.e. N_{0} = 100 and today (say after t years) the amount of C-14 in the bowl i.e. N = 21.

Therefore, from the given equation we can write  

21 = 100 e^{- 0.0001t} {Since, k is give to be 0.0001}

⇒ 0.21 = e^{- 0.0001t}

Now, taking ln on both sides we get

ln 0.21 = - 0.0001t (ln e) {Since, \ln a^{b} = b \ln a}

⇒ - 1.560647 = - 0.0001t  {We have ln e = 1}

⇒ t = 15606.47 years ≈ 15606 years  

Therefore, the age of the pottery bowl to the nearest year is 15606 years.(Answer)

What is the length of line segment KJ?
Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2

KJ^2=6^2+3^2

KJ^2=36+9

KJ^2=45

Now we will take positive square root on both sides:

\sqrt{KJ^2}=\sqrt{45}

KJ=\sqrt{9\cdot 5}

KJ=3\sqrt{5}

Therefore, the length of line segment KJ is 3\sqrt{5} and option D is the correct choice.
