Note that 8.00 = (2.00)^3, that implies that a decay to 1/8.00 means that the Carbon-14 has passed 3 half-life. (1 to decay to 1/2, other to decay to 1/4, and other to decay to 1/8). And, three half-life is 3 * 5730 years = 17,920 years. So,<span> the answer is that the plant was alive 17,920 years.</span>

How many different 4 digit numbers are there that are only made up of even digits
malfutka [58]
In a four-digit number, the first digit cannot be 0, so there are only 4 even numbers available. For the second, third, and fourth digits, there are 5 available numbers. Thus, the number of 4-digit numbers containing only even digits is 4 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 500 numbers.

We are asked to determine what happens to the values of f(x) as x approaches 2 using values of x  less than 2 AND using values of x greater than 2 . 

<span>Observe from the graph that as </span>x approaches 2 from the left or the right, the values of f(x) increase without bound.

Therefore, we know the following.

Angela asked each member of her class if they ever been to six flags over Georgia the class consists of 10 males and 14 females.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

2 male students didn't visit six falgs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the following information:

The class has 10 male students and 14 female students.

From the females, 8 visited six flags over Georgia.

And from the total of students of class 16 visited the six flags over Georgia.

Using this information you have to calculate the number of male students that did not visit six flags.

First step: Calculate the number of male students that visited six flags.

The total of students that visited is 16 from those 8 are female then 16 - 8 = 8 male students visited six flags.

Second step: Calculate the number of students that didn't visit it.

From the total of male students in the class, 8 visited six flags so 10 - 8 = 2 male students didn't visit six flags over GA.

I hope this helps!
