Answer: The rock is 2000785 years old.
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = initial amount of the reactant = 800
x = amount of daughter isotope = 600
a - x = amount left after decay process = amount of parent isotope = (800-600) = 200
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
The rock is 2000785 years old.
Answer: 3.6 seconds
Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet was formed 4.6 billion years ago.
Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.
If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,
528 years = 528 X
=3.6 seconds
<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>
<em />
<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Parallel to:
Passes through (-9,-4)
Required
Determine the line equation
First, we calculate the slope (m) of the said line
Make y the subject
Divide through by 3
An equation has the general form:
Where
So:
Because the required line is parallel to , then they have the same slope of
Next, is to calculate the line equation using:
Where
This gives:
Open bracket
