The bones at the time they were discovered when the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years are 10062.5-year-old.
<h3>What is half-lives?</h3>
Half lives is the time interval which is need to decay the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample.
There is a scientist who determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 70.3% of their carbon-14. Thus, the fraction remaining is,
f=1-(70.3/100)=1-0.703
f=1-(70.3/100)=0.297
Now the fraction remaining can be given as,
f=(1/2)ⁿ
Here, n is the half life elapsed. Put the value of fraction remaining.
0.297=(1/2)ⁿ
n=1.75
The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years. Thus,
Years=1.75*5750
Years=10062.5
Thus, the bones at the time they were discovered when the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of total 5750 years are 10062.5-year-old.

I'm sorry for been so late.
Rational Numebers: a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. For example: 1，2，3,-1，-2，-3
Irrational Numbers: an irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. For example: 1/3, 1/7 , 1/9
Real Numbers: a real number is a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line. For example: all rational and irrational numbers.
Whole Numbers: A member of the set of positive integers and zero. A positive integer. An integer. For example: 142， 20， 1
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
7. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the two equations, we can rearrange them to be
y = -8x+1
y = 8x+2
From this, we can see that the m, or slope, of the equations are -8 and 8 respectively. Thus, we can determine that the steepness of both equations are equal though one is pointed downwards and the other upwards.
8. We already know that m is the slope so if the function is increasing, the slope is going upwards, thus m must be larger than 0.
Next, we plug in (4,0) into the function to determine b.
f(x) = mx + b
0 = m(4) + b
Since we have determined that m is larger than 0 and thus a positive number, m*4 will be a positive number. The only way for m(4) + b to equal to 0 then is for b to be a negative number, smaller than 0.
