Artemon [7]

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 t.

$A(t)=A_{0}(1/2)^t^/^h$

We know half-life is 5730 years and that the parchment has retained 74% of its Carbon-14. For $A_{0$ 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. h 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.

$74=100(1/2)^t^/^5^7^3^0$

Now, solve. First, divide by 100.

$0.74=(0.5)^t^/^5^7^3^0$

Take the log of everything

$log(0.74)=\frac{t}{5730} log(0.5)$

Divide the entire equation by log (0.5) and multiply the entire equation by 5730 to isolate the t and get

$5730\frac{log(0.74)}{log(0.5)} =t$

Use your calculator to solve that giant mess for t and you'll get that t 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.

50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST! What is the area of this figure?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

42 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed of a rectangle ( middle section) and 2 triangles with the same length base and height

Area of rectangle = 7 × 4 = 28 units²

Area of 2 triangles = 2 × $\frac{1}{2}$ × 7 × 2 = 14 units²

Area of figure = 28 + 14 = 42 units²

Your problem statement makes no reference to p or q, so we can only guess that "p/q" refers to the ratio of the lowest- and highest-degree coefficients:

... -6/1

Then the factors of p/q are the factors of 6, with either sign.

Factors of p/q: ±1, ±2, ±3.

There are a number of ways the factors can be tested. To test 1, simply add the coefficients. (The sum is -8.) To test -1, subtract the sum of odd-degree coefficients from the sum of even-degree coefficients. (The difference is 0.)

Knowing that -1 is a root of the function, you can use synthetic division to find the quadratic factor. (See the first attachment for the work.) Then you have ...

... f(x) = (x +1)(x² +x -6)

You can continue to test the factors of p/q, or you can factor the quadratic to get ...

... f(x) = (x +1)(x -2)(x +3)

Another way to test the factors is to program your graphing calculator to evaluate the function f(x) for those factors. The result from my TI-84 is shown in the second attachment. That shows f(x) = 0 for x = -3, -1, and +2.

Test the factors: f({-3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3}) = {0, 4, 0, -8, 0, 24}

This tells you the x-intercepts.

X-intercepts: -3, -1, 2

Of course, the y-intercept is just the constant in the function—the value of the function when x=0.

Y-intercept: -6

As with any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, the overall behavior looks like "/". That is ...

End behaviors: f(x) goes to -∞ as x goes to -∞; f(x) goes to +∞ as x goes to +∞.

_____

A graph of f(x) is shown in the third attachment. (Graphing calculators make it easy to use graphing to find x-intercepts.)

I need help SOMEONE PLZ HELP ME OUT WITH THIS !! THANK UU

Mama L [17]

Answer:

since they are alternate exteriors, we put a equal sign

2x+78=5x+15

next we subtract 78 on both sides

2x+78-78=5x+15-78

2x=5x-63

then we subtract 5x on both sides

2x-5x=5x-5x-63

-3x=-63

after that we divide -3 on both sides

-3x/-3=-63/-3

and the answer is

x=21
