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

4n² - 15n + 14<span> is always the product of two numbers, for it to be prime number, one of these factors must be either 1 or -1.

Case n - 2 = 1
That would be n = 3
Then </span>4n² - 15n + 14<span> = 5 , which is prime.

Case n - 2 = -1
That would be n = 1
Then </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 = 3, which is also prime.

Case 4n - 7 = 1
That would be n = 2 and that makes other factor (n-2) zero so it's not prime

Case 4n-7 = -1
That would be n = 3/2 which is not integer, so </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will not be interger.

For any other n values, </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will be composite number since it is product of two factors.

Therefore we are left with n = 1 and n = 3; only two values of n.</span>

The larger of to numbers is 12 more than the smaller. Their sum is 84. What are the two numbers?
Nataly_w [17]
36 and 48

a = b+12
a+b = 84

(b+12) + b =84
2b +12 = 84
2b = 72
b= 36

a = b + 12
a = 36 + 12
a = 48
