The tree died about 3357 years ago.

Explanation:

The half life of carbon - 14 is given by

A(t)=A(0)e^{-kt}

where A(t)=0.5

A(0)=1

t=5600

Substituting these values in the above equation, we get,

0.5=1e^{-5600k}

Taking In on both sides of the equation, we get,

   In(0.5)=-5600k

      \frac{In(0.5)}{-5600} =k

0.00012377=k

Since, only 66% of Carbon - 14 remains after the time T.

Thus, we have,

0.66=1e^{-kT}

Taking In on both sides of the equation, we get,

  In(0.66)=-0.00012377 \ T

\frac{In(0.66)}{-0.00012377} =  T

        3357=T

Thus, the tree died about 3357 years ago.

The complex numbers corresponding to the endpoints of one diagonal of a square drawn on a complex plane are 1 + 2i and -2 – i.Wh
Musya8 [376]

On the complex plane, the number a+bi is mapped onto the point with coordinates (a,b).

In other words, the x coordinate is the real part of the number, while the y coordinate is the complex part of the number.

Viceversa, if you start from a point (x,y), you can identify the number x + iy.

So, the endpoints of the diagonal are the points (1,2) and (-2,-1). These are points A and C in the attached figure.

This means that points B and D have coordinates

B = (-2,2),\quad D = (1,-1)

So, the correspondant complex numbers are

B = (-2,2)\mapsto -2+2i,\quad D = (1,-1)\mapsto 1-i

Can someone pls help me with this question ​
jeyben [28]

Answer:

I'll find X for you; the next step is by you.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have two similar pentagons

I will do it in 2 ways.

1.

=> 48/4x = (x+2)/x

=> 12/x = (x+2)/x

Because of pentagons so x > 0

=> 12 = x + 2 => x = 10

2.

k is unknown number

=> 4x = k.x and 48 = k.(x + 2) (x > 0)

=> k = 4 and 48 = 4.(x + 2)

=> 12 = x + 2 => x = 10

Which expression has the greatest value when x=3
Luden [163]

Answer:

The third expression: (2x)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 3 for x in each expression

2x^3

2(3)^3

Use PEMDAS

2 (3 × 3 × 3)

2 (9 × 3)

2 (27)

54

2x^3 + 5

(The last expression told us 2x^3 = 54 so feel free to use this information to make life easier)

54 + 5

59

(2x)^3

(2 × 3)^3

Use PEMDAS

6^3

6 × 6 × 6

36 × 6

216

(x - 1)^3

(3 - 1)^3

Use PEMDAS

2^3

2 × 2 × 2

4 × 2

8

216 is the greatest value so the third expression is the answer
