Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation: she misses 5 shots so her score after is -10

its not a) because 5(-10) = -50

its not c) because there is no negative

its not d) because that would equal -50

99. What is the greatest prime factor of 5,355?<br> A. 17<br> B. 51<br> C. 119<br> D. 131<br> E. 153
NemiM [27]
Hello,

5355 is divisble by 3 since 5+3+5+5=18 is divisible by 3
5355=3*1785
1785 is divisble by 3 since 1+7+8+5=21 is divisible by 3
1785=3*595
595 is not divisible by 3 but by 5
595=5*119
119 is divisible by 7 since 1*2+1*3+9*1=14 is divisible by 7.
119=7*17

17 is prime
Answer A

the half life of c14 is 5730 years. Suppose that wood found at an archeological excavation site contains about 35% as much C14 a
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that examination occured in 2020. The decay of radioactive isotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:

\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\frac{dm}{dt} - First derivative of mass in time, measured in miligrams per year.

\tau - Time constant, measured in years.

m - Mass of the radioactive isotope, measured in miligrams.

Now we obtain the solution of this differential equation:

\int {\frac{dm}{m} } = -\frac{1}{\tau}\int dt

\ln m = -\frac{1}{\tau} + C

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (Eq. 2)

Where:

m_{o} - Initial mass of isotope, measured in miligrams.

t - Time, measured in years.

And time is cleared within the equation:

t = -\tau \cdot \ln \left[\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right]

Then, time constant can be found as a function of half-life:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (Eq. 3)

If we know that t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr and \frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = 0.35, then:

\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr

t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.35

t \approx 8678.505\,yr

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

the mean of the commute time to work for a resident of a certain city is 28.8 minutes. assume the standard deviation of the comm
hjlf

Answer:

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have no information about the shape of the distribution, so we use Chebyshev's Theorem to solve this question.

Chebyshev Theorem

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

Applying the Theorem

The minimum percentage of the commuters in the city has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 75%.

(2,170), (5,365) slope
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

To find the slope given two points, use the slope formula. The slope formula is Y2-Y1/X2-X1. Substitute in the given points and solve.

365-170/5-2

195/3

65

The slope of the two points is 65.

Hope this helps! :)
