Answer: $a(0)=5, a(n)=a(n-1)*(-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 5. Then the next term (-5) will be the previous term (5) multiplied by -1. Then you get 5*-1 = -5

Complete each statement. An event with a probability of 0 is An event with a probability of 1 is

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

An event with a probability of 0 is impossible.

An event with a probability of 1 is certain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is typically expressed in terms of a fraction between 0 and 1 where the denominator is the total number of outcomes and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes. Since probability is expressed as a fraction, if the probability is 0, that means it is impossible, or there is no chance that the event can happen. However, if the probability is 1, that means that the event is certain to happen and the odds are completely in your favor that the event will happen.

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 <span>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, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.</span>
