Answer:

C.  its age

Explanation:

Rex is most likely trying to figure out the age of the rock formation. It is usually done by comparing the isotopic ratios of the daughter to the parent and their decay rates.

  • This is known as radiometric dating.
  • Here an exact numerical age of the rock is usually obtained by measuring these isotopic ratio.
  • The rate of decay serves as a clock to measure how far the radioactive material has decayed in time

Find the coordinates of a point on the directed segment from (3,-2) to (8,0) that divides it into a ratio of 3:1.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

(x,y) = (\frac{27}{4}, -\frac{1}{2})

Explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (3,-2)

(x_2,y_2) = (8,0)

m : n = 3  :1

Required

The coordinates of the point

This is calculated using:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{m+n}(mx_2 + nx_1, my_2 + ny_1)

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{3+1}(3*8 + 1*3, 3*0 - 1*2)

(x,y) = \frac{1}{4}(27, -2)

So, we have:

(x,y) = (\frac{27}{4}, -\frac{1}{2})

3. The region through which Cortes traveled and conquered is the Caribbean region, and also the northern part of Central America and southernmost part of North America, a region known also as Mezoamerica.

4. Most of the Central American countries speak Spanish because they were ruled for few centuries by Spain, and the Spanish language was the official one in their colonies, so everyone had to learn it and speak it.
