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

Find the equation of line (use exact numbers)​
maw [93]

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the place where x is equal to 0, and the slope is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis, otherwise known as rise over run ( \frac{rise}{run} ).

If you study the graph, you can see that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,3), so 3 is the y-intercept. Insert into the formula:

y=mx+3

Now find the slope. Use the slope formula:

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{rise}{run}

You need two points first. You can use the y-intercept (0,3) and another even point, like (1,6). Insert the values:

(0_{x1},3_{y1})\\(1_{x2},6_{y2})\\\\\frac{6-3}{1-0}=\frac{3}{1}=3

The slope is 3. Insert this value:

y=3x+3

If a football player passes a football from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 36 feet per second, how long will
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

A. 0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball hits the ground, h = 0.

0 = -16t² + 6t + 4

0 = 8t² − 3t − 2

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ 3 ± √(9 − 4(8)(-2)) ] / 16

t = (3 ± √73) / 16

t = 0.72

What is y and x in simple radical form
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30°-60°-90° triangle, so the sides are in the ratio 1:√3:2

The side opposite the 90° angle is 16, so the side opposite the 30° angle is 8, and the side opposite the 60° angle is 8√3.

x = 8√3

y = 8
