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

Marcy bottles 17 gallons of root beer and 12 gallons of punch. She sells her drinks in quart bottles. How many bottles does she
densk [106]


we know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts so...

17 gallons of root beer + 12 gallons of punch = 29 gallons in total

29 gallons ÷ 4 = 7.25 quarts

so she needs 7 bottles of quarts for her 29 total gallons.

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 8x +4, expressed in simplest radical form?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = - 4 ± 2\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 8x + 4

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is

x² + 8x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x² + 8x = - 4

To solve using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 4 + 16

(x + 4)² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = ± \sqrt{12} = ± 2\sqrt{3} ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4 ± 2\sqrt{3}

Thus the zeros are

x = - 4 - 2\sqrt{3} and x = - 4 + 2\sqrt{3}
