Answer:

50 atoms of carbon-14

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) = 5700 years

Amount that decay =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained illustrated below:

Half-life (t½) = 5700 years

Time (t) = 5700 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 5700 / 5700

n = 1

Next, we shall determine the amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) = 1

Amount remaining (N) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2¹ × 100

N = 1/2 × 100

N = 50 atoms

Finally, we shall determine the amount that decayed as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 100 atoms

Amount remaining (N) = 50 atoms

Amount that decay =?

Amount that decay = N₀ – N

Amount that decay = 100 – 50

Amount that decay = 50 atoms

Therefore, 50 atoms of carbon-14 have decayed during the time.

I don't know how to solve this! Do I distribute the 15 and the negative sign? Please help! Thank you!
anastassius [24]
You would first subtract 2 and 15 from both sides so you'll get -(3x+5)= -9 and then the negative would go into the 3 and 5 so it would be -3x-5 = -9 and then you'll add 5 to both sides then divide -3 to both sides so you'll get
\frac{ - 4}{ - 3}
but since 2 negative make a positive your final answer is
\frac{4}{3}

From which psychological perspective would a psychologist suggest medication or surgery to modify or change behavior?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: Cognitive

Explanation:

Cognitive psychology focuses on the mind and the processes involved therein. It focuses therefore on mental processes which include but are not limited to, attention, memory, thought process and creativity.

Popular cognitive psychological disorders include amnesia, dementia and depression. Given that there is medicine that is aimed at slowing memory loss in the case of dementia and antidepressants for depression, it can be surmised that from a Cognitive perspective, medication can be recommended by a psychologist.
