Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (5, 2), thus

y = a(x - 5)² + 2

To find a substitute (4, - 3) into the equation

- 3 = a + 2 ⇒ a = - 3 - 2 = - 5

y = - 5(x - 5)² + 2 ← in vertex form

Expand (x - 5)² and distribute by - 5

y = - 5(x² - 10x + 25) + 2

= - 5x² + 50x - 125 + 2

= - 5x² + 50x - 123 ← in standard form

Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmospher

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.

A statement can help you organize the numbers to answer a question about percents

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$50 is 27.02% of $185.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on clothing = $50

Money spent on Groceries = $100

Money spent on Gas = $35

Total money spent = $185

Our question is to find the percentage of total money that is spent on clothing.

Percentage money on clothing = $\frac{Money spent on clothing}{Total money}$ × 100

= $\frac{50}{185}$ × 100

= 27.02% (approx)

Hence, $50 is 27.02% of $185.
