Carbon-14 dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on Earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. If thi

s is true, the amount of 14C absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of 14C absorbed by a tree growing today. A piece of ancient charcoal contains only 38% as much of the radioactive carbon as a piece of modern charcoal. How long ago was the tree burned to make the ancient charcoal? (The half-life of 14C is 5715 years. Round to the nearest year.)

7978 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A02^(-t/hl)

where hl = half-life.

Dividing both sides by A0 and taking the logarithm, we get

ln(A/A0) = -(t/hl)ln2

or solving for t,

t= -(hl)ln(A/A0)/ln2

note that A/A0 = 0.38

t = -(5715 yrs)[ln(0.38)/ln2]

= 7978 years

a trapezoid has base lengths of (6x-1) units and 3 units. Its midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units. What is the value of x?
vodka [1.7K]
1. You have that:

 - The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
 - The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.

 2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:

 Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2

 As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.

 3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:

 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2

 4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
 2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
 10x-6=6x+2
 10x-6x=2+6
 4x=8
 x=8/4
 x=2
