The answer is C. Because it takes 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 atoms to decay. It says that 50% of the carbon atoms have decayed so that means that 5730 years have elapsed for that fossil.

I hope that helps.

a conical tank with vertex down is 10 feet across the top and 12 feet deep. If water is flowing out of the tank at a rate of 12
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The water level is dropping at a rate of 0.24 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply want to calculate the change in depth (height of the cone) , given the volume change

Mathematically, we have the volume of a cone as;

V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h

we are given dv/dt as 12 ft^3/m

dv/dh = 1/3 * π * r^2

Substituting the value for the radius, we have

dv/dh = 1/3 * 22/7 * 4^2 = 50.29

dh/dt = dh/dv * dv/dt

dh/dv = 1/(dv/dh) = 1/50.29

Thus,

dh/dt = 1/50.29 * 12

dh/dt = 0.24 ft/s

An algebra question i really need help with this like ASAP
AVprozaik [17]

"the candle is 17 inches tall after 3 hours" then it says " after 5 hours it is 15 inches tall"

-assuming that they mean that after 2 additional hours (from 3-5), the candle is now 2 inches shorter than before, a unit of decreasing value can be determined in this case the candle is "shortening" at a rate of 1 inch/per hour. If we write this in equation form it looks like this I think:  h = h-t  ...... right ? so then: h = 20 - 8 , h = 12 inches after 8 hours.

20 inches is the original height of the candle before any was burnt that I calculated using the same equation - What do you think of my answer.
