Answer:

The third side must be between 10cm and 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side be x

<u>Triangle inequality theorem: sum of the length of any two sides must be greater than the third side length:</u>

2 + 12 > x ⇒ x < 14
2 + x > 12 ⇒ x > 10
x + 12 > 2 ⇒ x > -10, we change it to x > 0 as it should be a positive number

<u>Combined together we have:</u>

10 < x < 14

The third side must be between 10cm and 14 cm

Situation:A researcher in North America discoversa fossile that contains 65% of its originalamount of C-14..-ktN=NoeNo inital am

zheka24 [161]

SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}$

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ 0.65N_0=N_0e^{-0.0001t} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=\frac{0.65N_0}{N_0} \\ e^{-0.0001t}=0.65 \end{gathered}$

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

$\begin{gathered} ln(e^{-0.000t})=ln(0.65) \\ -0.0001t=ln(0.65) \\ t=\frac{ln(0.65)}{-0.0001} \\ t=4307.82916 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year

If x2 = 60, what is the value of x?

MArishka [77]

Answer:

x = ±2sqrt(15)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 60

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(60)

x = ±sqrt(60)

x = ±sqrt(4 *15)

x = ±2sqrt(15)
