Answer:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of nickel be x

Let the amount of pennies be y

Let the amount of quarters be z

If the the total value of the coins is 3.88, then;

x+y+z = 3.88 .... 1

If Anita has 4 more nickels than pennies, then;

x = y + 4 ... 2

If she has 2 more than 4 times the number of quarters than pennies, then;

y = 2 + 4z

4z = y-2

z = (y-2)/4 ...3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1

y+4+y+(y-2)/4 = 3.88

4y+16+4y + y-2 = 15.52

9y + 14 = 15.52

9y = 15.52 - 14

9y = 1.52

y = 1.52/9

y = 0.17

Since x = y + 4

x = 0.17+4

x  = 4.17

z = y-2/4

z = 0.17-2/4

z = -1.83/4

z = - 0.46

A specimen of charcoal found at Stonehenge contains 63% as much Carbon-14 as a sample of present-day charcoal. What is the age o
seraphim [82]
Since we are given with the identity of the chemical as Carbon-14, we obtain the half-life of the chemical from a reliable source and get a value of 5730 years. The equation that we are going to use for this item is,
                              A(t)/A(0) = (0.50)^(n/5730)
where A(t) is the current amount, A(0) is the initial amount and n is the number of years. We know from the given that the ratio of A(t) and A(0) is equal to 0.63. Substituting this to the given,
                                0.63 = 0.50^(n/5730)
                                        n = 3819.48 
Thus, the sample is approximately 3819.5 years old.

Please help me will mark brainliest!!!<br><br> Provide a hand drawn graph attachment pls
Travka [436]

The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to create the graph. The graph is restricted on the domain 0 \le x \le 2 meaning that everything to the left of x = 0 is not drawn, and the same for everything to the right of x = 2.

A table of values is included as well. Each row in the table represents an ordered pair point (x,y) that is on the blue cosine graph.
