Scientists use carbon-14 dating to determine the age of a sample of organic material. a. The amount C (in grams) of a 100-gram s

ample of carbon-14 remaining after t years is represented by the equation C=100(0.99988)t C = 100 ( 0.99988 ) t . Use a calculator to find the amount of carbon-14 remaining after 4 years. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The amount of carbon-14 remaining is about grams. b. What percent of the carbon-14 remains after 4 years? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about %.

Answer:

a) 99.95 grams are remaining after 4 years.

b) The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about 99.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of carbon 14 remaining after t years is given by the following equation:

C(t) = 100(0.99988)^{t}

a) Amount remaining after 4 years.

C(t) = 100(0.99988)^{4} = 99.95

99.95 grams are remaining after 4 years.

b) Percentage remaining after 4 years:

p = \frac{100*C(4)}{C(0)} = \frc{100*99.95}{100} = 99.95

The percent of carbon-14 remaining is about 99.95%

mestny [16]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

8 (3w^2 - 2)


Discussion:

The  greatest common factor is 8, so

24w^2 - 16 = 8 (3w^2 - 2)


Thank you,

Verify that the divergence theorem is true for the vector field f on the region
schepotkina [342]
\mathbf f(x,y,z)=5x\,\mathbf i+xy\,\mathbf j+2xz\,\mathbf k

\mathrm{div}(\mathbf f)=\dfrac{\partial(5x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(xy)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(2xz)}{\partial z}=5+x+2x=5+3x


By the divergence theorem, the flux of \mathbf f across the boundary of E is given by


\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_E\mathrm{div}(\mathbf f)\,\mathrm dV

=\displaystyle\int_{z=0}^{z=2}\int_{y=0}^{y=2}\int_{x=0}^{x=2}(5+3x)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=64
