A modern controversy by some maverick, so-called historians wishes to prove that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built more than

10,000 years ago instead of the generally understood age of 5600 years ago. They propose to date the Cretaceous limestone used to construct the pyramid by using Carbon-14. Will they be successful in proving the pyramid was built 10,000 years ago? If not, why not? HINT: C-14 has a half-life of 5730 years and a maximum utility of 50,000 to 100,000 years.

Answer:

Yes, they will be successful

Explanation:

The method of carbon dating is used to measure the age of artifacts. This has made the technique very important in archaeological investigations.

The method of carbon dating is useful for determining the age of any material of plant or animal origin. However, the material fall within a specified age limit for this method to be successfully applied to it.

Since Carbon-14 dating technique has a maximum utility of 50,000 to 100,000 years and a half life of 5730 years , then they will be successful if they use Carbon-14 dating in the study.

What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4.1)? (-
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

A. y - 1 = -2(x - 4)

Explanation:

Recall that parallel lines have the same slope value.

Thus, the first step is to find the slope of the line given.

✔️Slope of the line that runs through (-3, 3) and (-2, 1):

slope (m) = change in y/change in x

Slope (m) = (1 - 3)/(-2 -(-3)) = -2/1

Slope (m) = -2

The slope (m) of the line that is parallel to the given line would also be -2.

✔️The slope of the line that is parallel to the given line which goes through the point (4, 1) can be written in point-slope form, y - b = m(x - a). Where,

(a, b) = (4, 1)

m = -2

Substitute the values into the equation

The equation of the parallel line would be:

y - 1 = -2(x - 4)
