The radioactive isotope carbon-14 is present in small quantities in all life forms, and it is constantly replenished until the o

rganism dies, after which it decays to stable carbon-12 at a rate proportional to the amount of carbon-14 present, with a half-life of 5556 years. Suppose C(t) is the amount of carbon-14 present at time t. The exponential decay differential equation that models this scenario is C'=-kC . Solve the differential equation to answer the following questions.
(a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation.

2 dots plots with number lines going from 0 to 10. Plot A has 0 dots above 0, 1, and 2, 1 above 3, 2 above 4, 2 above 5, 2 above
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

First one:

Both the mean and median are greater for Plot A than for Plot B

Step-by-step explanation:

Set A:

Mean:

[1×10 + 2×7 + 2×6 + 2×5 + 2×4 + 1×3]/10

= 5.7

Median:

Median position: (10+1)/2 = 5.5th value

(5+6)/2

Median = 5.5

Set B:

Mean:

[1×7 + 3×6 + 3×5 + 2×4 + 1×3]/10

= 5.1

Median:

Median position: (10+1)/2 = 5.5th value

(5+5)/2

Median = 5

Mean: A is greater

Median: A is greater

2x=160, can you help me with this, and show steps?
Mars2501 [29]
Just divide both sides by 2 because you want to do the opposite operation, to isolate x so if you do you get 80 so x = 80
