Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are not given the function in question, but in order to explain, will form a function. Suppose f(x) = 3x + 2.

If f(x) = 17, then

3x + 2 = 17, to find the value of x, we have solve for x in the equation.

3x = 17 – 2

3x = 15

x = 5

This is the method that can be used to solve problems of this nature.

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this

Firlakuza [10]

The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ after a time, t, is given by:

$N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{ \frac{1}{2} }}$

Given that potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

$0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\ \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5$

Therefore, the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.
