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.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

49 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of candy and divide by the amount in a serving

2 3/4 ÷ 1/18

Change to an improper fraction

(4*2+3)/4 ÷ 1 /18

11/4 ÷ 1/18

Copy dot flip

11/4 * 18/1

198/4

49.5

Round down since people do not want half a serving

How do you factor this in the form (x+b)(x+c)
faust18 [17]
So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!

If 18 is 45% of value, what is that value
____ [38]
Percent  is parts out of 100 so
45%=45/100=9/20
'of' means multiply
18 =9/20 times something
multiply both sides by 20/9 to clear fraction
360/9=something
40=something

the value is 40
