Answer:
The estimated age of the skull is 39118 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of the substance after t years is given by:

In which A(0) is the initial amount, and r is the decay rate.
The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5600 years.
This means that
. We use this to find r, or 1 - r, to replace in the equation. So



![\sqrt[5600]{(1-r)^{5600}} = \sqrt[5600]{0.5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B5600%5D%7B%281-r%29%5E%7B5600%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5600%5D%7B0.5%7D)


So

Only 2% of the original amount of carbon-14 remains in the burnt wood of the campfire.
This is t for which
. So







The estimated age of the skull is 39118 years.
Isn't it a function considered a function if it has no intersecting lines? Maybe you should graph it and see if it has intersecting lines or not. If it doesn't the it's a function if
it does then it's not. I think..?
Answer:
The area of the composite area is 400 square millimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the composite figure (
), in square millimeters, is found by multiplying the area of the equivalent rectangle, in which a semicircle of the original rectangle is move to the opposite side of the figure, so that quantity of area is conserved:
(1)
Where:
- Width, in millimeters.
- Height, in millimeters.
If we know that
, the area of the composite figure is:


The area of the composite area is 400 square millimeters.
The triangular pyramid is made of 4 congruent triangles. They all have the same shape and size, so they have the same area. The area of one triangle is
A = b*h/2
A = 5*4.3/2
A = 10.75
So four of them lead to a total surface area of 4*10.75 = 43 square meters
--------------------------
The rectangular prism has the dimensions
L = 5
W = 5
H = 4.3
The surface area is found through the formula below
SA = 2*(L*W+L*H+W*H)
SA = 2*(5*5+5*4.3+5*4.3)
SA = 136
--------------------------
So far we found that
surface area of pyramid = 43 square meters
surface area of prism = 136 square meters
Dividing the values, we get 136/43 = 3.16279 approximately. The result is not equal to 2, so Susan's statement is not correct. The prism has more than twice the surface area of the pyramid
