Answer:
4(a). C= 3 + 1.5x
b. 'x' stands for the number of times the cup is refilled.
c. 3 + 1.5 (5)= $10.50
d. My answer to part (c) makes sense because the price of the cup is $3, and I have to pay $1.50 for each additional refill, in accordance to the formula I wrote.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the cup is 3 dollars, but with each refill you get, you have to pay $1.50.
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (

Answer:
P = 46.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2L + 2W, where P is perimeter, L is length, and W is width.
2 x Length (L) = 2 x 15.5 feet = 31 feet;
2 x Width (W) = 2 x 7.8 feet = 15.6 feet.
Add both length and width together:
2L + 2W = 30.1 + 15.6 = 46.6 feet.
The perimeter (P) = 46.6 feet.
