Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three sides of a triangle are 2x+4, 5x+2, and 4x-3.

The sum is the perimeter

P = 2x+4+ 5x+2+ 4x-3

Combine like terms

P = 11x +3

Let x =2

P = 11*2 +3

P = 22+3

P =25

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 1: 2x+4 Side 2: 5x+2 Side 3: 4x-3

Substitute-

2(2)+4 5(2)+2 4(2)-3

Multiply-

4+4 10+2 8-3

Combine Terms-

16 + 12 + 5

=25

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this

Firlakuza [10]

The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ after a time, t, is given by:

$N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{ \frac{1}{2} }}$

Given that potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

$0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\ \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5$

Therefore, the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the equation y= 6x - 2?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

(5, 28)

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 6x - 2

Verifying pairs:

(1,0)

0 = 6*1 - 2
0 = 4 - incorrect

(5, 28)

28 = 6*5 - 2
28 = 30 -2
28 = 28 - correct

(6, 20)

20 = 6*6 - 2
20 = 36 - 2
20 = 34 - incorrect

(3, 19)

19 = 6*3 - 2
19 = 18 - 2
19 = 16 - incorrect

What is the scale factor

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's from a big square to a smaller square, the smaller number will be at the top. Also, use the same side to find the scale factor, but since this is a square and all sides of a square are equal, it doesn't matter but in other shapes it does so practice i guess:

Left side of big square: 5

Left side of small square: 2

So scale is 2/5

To confirm:

5 · 2/5 = 10/5 = 2, we're right
