Why are radioactive isotopes not useful for dating sedimentary rocks?

Mathematics
2 answers:
hodyreva [135]3 years ago

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks can be dated using radioactive carbon, but because carbon decays relatively quickly, this only works for rocks younger than about 50 thousand years. So in order to date most older fossils, scientists look for layers of igneous rock or volcanic ash above and below the fossil. can u mark mr brailest

Simplify Which of the following is correct?
aalyn [17]

The difference between mixed numbers gives:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = 3¹/₃

So the correct option is the third one.

<h3 /><h3>How to get the difference between mixed numbers?</h3>

Here we want to compute the difference between two mixed numbers.

First, remember that we can rewrite those as:

-5¹/₆ = (-5 - 1/6)

-8¹/₂ = (-8 - 1/2)

Now, let's go to the difference:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂)

First you can see that there are two negative signs together, so it is equivalent to a positive sign:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = -5¹/₆  + 8¹/₂

Now we can replace the mixed numbers to get:

-5¹/₆  + 8¹/₂ = (-5 - 1/6) + (8 + 1/2) = (8 - 5) + (1/2 - 1/6) = (3 + 2/6) = 3 + 1/3

And that can be rewritten to:

3 + 1/3 = 3¹/₃

Which is completely simplified.

So we conclude that the correct option is the third one, counting from the top.

The first three steps in writing f(x) = 40x + 5x2 in vertex form are shown. What is the function written in vertex form?
pychu [463]
F(x) = 5(x + 4) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 4)2 – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8)2 – 80

What is the range of function g? <br>​
vlada-n [284]

Using it's concept, the range of function g is given by:

B. \{y|y \in \mathbb{R}, y \neq -4, -3\}

<h3>What is the range of a function?</h3>

The range of a function is the set that contains all possible output values for the function. In a graph, it is the values of y.

In this graph, y assumes all values except y = -3 and y = -4, hence the range is given by:

B. \{y|y \in \mathbb{R}, y \neq -4, -3\}
