Answer:

t = 6162  years

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently you are asked to use the constant k = 0.0001 instead of the most common 0.00012. We'll answer the problem using such number you typed, but make sure that there is no omission in your typing.

The equation to use is that for carbon decay:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{-0.0001\,\,t}

If the skull contains 54% of its original amount of C14, then that means that :

N(t)=0.54 \,\,N_0

we use this to solve for the time (t) in our equation:

0.54\,\,N_0=N_0\,e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\\frac{0.54\,\,N_0}{N_0}=e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\0.54=e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\ln(0.54)=-0.0001\,\,t\\t=\frac{ln(0.54)}{-0.0001} \\t=6161.86\,\,years

which rounded to the nearest year as requested gives :

t = 6162  years

6. Interest is compounded semianually. Find the amount in the account after the given time.
patriot [66]

The amount in the account after the given time if compounded semiannually is $1104.2

<h3>Compound interest </h3>

Interest is any amount added on a sum of money over a period of time. The formula for calculating the compound interest is:

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Given

P = $1000

rate r = 0.05

time =3years

n = 2

Substitute

A = 1000(1 + 0.05/3)^3(2)
A= 1000(1.1042)
A = $1104.2

Hence the amount in the account after the given time if compounded semianually is $1104.2

Mrs. Miller has a rectangular garden with a length of 20 feet long with an area of (20x-200) square feet. Write an expression th
krek1111 [17]

Perimeter = (20 + 2x) mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus pupil has length 20 mm and the expression for its area is given by (20x - 200) square mm.

If the width of the octopus pupil is w, then 20w = 20x - 200

⇒ w = (x - 10) mm.

Therefore, the expression for its perimeter is 2(Length + Width) = 2 ( 20 + x - 10) = 2( 10 + x) = (20 + 2x) mm. (Answer)

A “stick” object of height 10 cm is standing in front of a point X–ray source at a distance of 50 cm from the source. The detect
blagie [28]

Answer:

40 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

height of the object = 10 cm

Distance of the object from the X-ray= 50 cm

Distance of detector from the source = 2 m = 200 cm

Height of the image, h = ?

Now,

\tan \theta = \frac{P}{B}

\tan \theta = \frac{10}{50}

\tan \theta = \frac{1}{5}

Again applying

\tan \theta = \frac{P}{B}

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{h}{200}

h = 40 cm

Hence, height of the image is equal to 40 cm.
