WITCHER [35]3 years ago

Answer:

130 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to let the "surface of the ocea" be at 0 height.

So,

anything above surface has POSITIVE height

and anything below surface has NEGATIVE height

The albatross is 100 m above, so we can say its height is:

+100 meters

The shark is 30 m below, so we can say its height is:

-30 meters

The difference in height is thus:

100 - (-30) = 100 + 30 = 130 meters

Preeta’s book has 300 pages. Each day she reads 10 more pages than the day before. She finishes her book in 6 days. How many pag
Scilla [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if the number of pages in the 1st day is 'x', then the 2d day - 'x+10', the 3d day - 'x+20', the 4th day - 'x+30', the 5th day - 'x+40' and the last day - 'x+50' pages;

2. if the sum of all the pages is 300, then it is possible to make up the equation:

x+x+10+x+20+x+30+x+40+x+50=300;

3. x=25, it means:

1st day - 25;

2d day - 35;

3d day - 45;

4th day - 55;

5th day - 65;

6th day - 75 pages.

Here is a test to how good your math is,
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance AB is ...

... √((5-1)²+(5-2)²) = √(16+9) = 5

The largest right triangle that can be constructed with AB as the hypotenuse is one with an altitude of 5/2 = 2.5 units. Its area will be ...

... (1/2)·5·2.5 = 6.25 . . . . square units

It is not possible to construct the triangle ABC described.

_____

In order to achieve the given area, ∠C would need to be 87.75° or smaller. It could not be 90°.

An old bone contains 80% of its original carbon-14. Use the half-life model to find the age of the bone. Find an equation equiva
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

An old bone contains 80% of its original carbon-14 in 1844.6479 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

half life time of C-14 is 5730 years

so, h=5730

now, we can use formula

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

we can plug back h

and we get

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

An old bone contains 80% of its original carbon-14

so,

P(t)=0.80Po

we can plug it and then we solve for t

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

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=1844.6479

So,

An old bone contains 80% of its original carbon-14 in 1844.6479 years
