Answer:
t = 6162 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently you are asked to use the constant k = 0.0001 instead of the most common 0.00012. We'll answer the problem using such number you typed, but make sure that there is no omission in your typing.
The equation to use is that for carbon decay:
If the skull contains 54% of its original amount of C14, then that means that :
we use this to solve for the time (t) in our equation:
which rounded to the nearest year as requested gives :
t = 6162 years
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=26
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(x-2)=1/5(x+4)+2
x-2=3/5x+42/5
5x-10=3x+42
5x-3x-10=42
5x-3=42+10
2x=42+10
2x=52
x=26
Answer:
36.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Measurements for the sides of the canal is given as: 40 ft. and 16 ft.
You solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem
The distance across the canal is calculated as:
√(40² - 16²)
= √(1344)
= 36.66060556 ft
Approximately = 36.7 ft
Therefore, the distance x across the canal = 36.7 ft
First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
