The value of x is 1 .(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Three or more points lying on a straight line are said to be collinear

In this question, B is the point between A and C. This means;

AB+BC=AC where;

AB=10x+1

BC=5x+1

AC=17

10x+1 + 5x+1 =17

15x+2=17

15x=17-2

15x=15

x=15/15 =1

Fran used a graphics program to reduce a

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The reduced dimensions are:

Width = 12 cm

Length = 7.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions of Image:

Width = 20 cm

Length = 12 cm

Fran reduced the dimensions using a scale factor of 0.6

We need yo find dimensions of reduction.

We would multiply the original dimensions by 0.6 to find the new dimensions.

So, Width = 20 * 0.6 = 12

length = 12 * 0.6 = 7.2

So, the reduced dimensions are:

Width = 12 cm

Length = 7.2 cm

an archaeologist in turkey discovers a spear head that contains 80% of its original amount of C-14. Find the age of the spear he

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The age of the spear head to the nearest year is 1845 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

half life time of C-14 is 5730 years

so, h=5730

we can use formula

$P(t)=P_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }$

now, we can plug value

$P(t)=P_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{5730} }$

an archaeologist in turkey discovers a spear head that contains 80% of its original amount of C-14

so,

$P(t)=0.80P_0$

we can plug it

$0.80P_0=P_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{5730} }$

now, we can solve for t

$0.80=(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{5730} }$

$\ln \left(0.8\right)=\ln \left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{5730}}\right)$

$t=-\frac{5730\ln \left(0.8\right)}{\ln \left(2\right)}$

$t=1844.647$

So,

The age of the spear head to the nearest year is 1845 years
