PROBLEM SOLVING When a plant or animal dies, it stops acquiring carbon-14 from the atmosphere. The amount y in grams) of carbon-

14 in the body of an organism after t years is y= a(0.5)^t/5730, where a is the initial amount (in grams). What percent of the carbon-14 is released each year? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

4 0

Answer:

0.01%

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a (0.5)^t/5730

y=a [(0.5)^t/5730]

when you put 0.5^1/5730

it'll give you 0.99

The "equation" is y=a(1-r)^t

so 1-0.99 is 0.01

Jane spent 3 hours exploring a mountain with a dirt bike. First, she rode 55 miles uphill. After she reached the peak she rode f
Neko [114]

Answer:

Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:

time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)

time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x

total time = time uphill + time summit

3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x

3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]

3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280

3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280

3x²  - 113*x + 280 = 0

x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph

x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph

Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.

Simplify the expression. State any excluded values.<br><br> x^ 2 - 36/42x - 7x^ 2
REY [17]

Consider the expression x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2.

This expression contains two terms with x^2, group them:

x^2-7x^2=x^2(1-7)=-6x^2.

Now simplify term \dfrac{36}{42}x=\dfrac{6}{7}x.

Now x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2=-6x^2-\dfrac{6}{7}x=6\left(-x^2-\dfrac{1}{7}x\right)=-6x\left(x-\dfrac{1}{7}\right).

This expression is defined for all x.
