A geologist in South America discovers a bird skeleton that contains 77% of its original amount of C-14.

Answer:

nightowl

N=N0e^-kt

N0 just means the amount of C-14 at time zero (when the bird dies), or the initial number of grams

Step-by-step explanation:

.57*N0 = N0*e^(-0.0001*t)

N0 cancels out

.57 =e^(-0.0001*t)

ln(.57) = -.0001*t

ln(.57) / -.0001=t

t = 5621.189

the bird's skeleton is 5621 years old

melomori [17]

Answer:

y= 8000x + 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the formula we can use the points given in the question:

the slope:

to get the slope we can take the 2 points, (0,2000) and (2,18000) where x values are time and y values are bacteria

now using slope-intercept form we can get \frac{18000-2000}{2-0} which gives a slope of 8000 meaning for each hour there are 8000 new bacteria

intercept:

since we start with 2000 bacteria we know this is the y intercept so when x is 0

formula:

y=8000x + 2000

At one farmer’s market, bananas cost $0. 80 per pound. At another farmer’s market, bananas are sold in 5-pound bags for $4. 50 p
Minchanka [31]

To find the better buy divide 4.50 by 5 to find the unit rate for the 5-pound bag, and compare that number to $0. 80 per pound.

<h3>What is cost price per pound?</h3>

The cost price per pound is the amount of money required to buy one pound of a brand or goods.

To find the cost price per pound, divide the total amount of cost of the goods to the total number of goods.

At one farmer’s market, bananas cost $0.80 per pound.

At another farmer’s market, bananas are sold in 5-pound bags for $4. 50 per bag. To compare it with first market price, divide the 5 pound bags with $4.50.

The cost of one bag in this market is,

C=\dfrac{4.50}{5}\\C=0.5625

As this cost is less, thus, the cost of this market for one banana is less than the first market and so this is the better buy.

Hence, to find the better buy divide 4.50 by 5 to find the unit rate for the 5-pound bag, and compare that number to $0. 80 per pound.

Kelsey solved the following equation:
Tems11 [23]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.

In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.

In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.

In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.
