Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{6.6 \times 10^{12}\ years}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given value is:

$R=\frac{1}{9^{17}}\\\\\to \frac{N_{c_{14}}}{N_{c_{12}}}=\frac{1}{9^{17}}\\\\\to t=\frac{2.303 \times 9^{17}}{5717}=6.6\times 10^{12}\ years$

Mnenie [13.5K]

Assuming the interest is simple interest, as opposed to compound interest,

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$3600\\
r=rate\to 9\%\to \frac{9}{100}\to &0.09\\
t=years\to &25
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=3600(1+0.09\cdot 25)\implies 3600(3.25)$

Subtract and simplify.

Anestetic [448]

$(y^2-7y-5)-(-3y^2+3y-4)$
$=y^2-7y-5+3y^2-3y+4$
$=3y^2+y^2-7y-3y-5+4$
$=4y^2-10y-1$

In short, the answer would be $4y^2-10y-1$ (Option D).
