If AP and PB are in a 1:2 ratio, it means that PB is twice AB.

So, AP must fit three times into AB, meaning that P must be at one third of the way between A and B.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659$ and $\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the isotope decay is:

$\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

14-Carbon has a half-life of 5568 years, the time constant of the isotope is:

$\tau = \frac{5568\,years}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8032.926\,years$

The decay time is:

$t = 1315\,years + 2007\,years \pm 13\,years$ (There is no a year 0 in chronology).

$t = 3335 \pm 13\,years$

Lastly, the relative amount is estimated by direct substitution:

$\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\mp\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{-\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{min} \approx 0.659$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} = e^{-\frac{3335\,years}{8032.926\,years} }\cdot e^{\frac{13\,years}{8032.926\,years} }$

$\left(\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right)_{max} \approx 0.661$

(8x - 35) solve for x

skad [1K]

You must begin by isolating the x.
1. add -35 to the other side of the equation

2. divide by 8 to get x by itself

Hope this helps!
