Answer:

sin A = 15/17

sec A = 17/8

Step-by-step explanation:

15 cot A = 8

First get cot A alone.

cot A = 8 / 15

Since cot is the reciprocal of tan then flip 15 and 8.

tan A = 15 / 8

Now you have the opposite and adjacent sides, just find the hypotenuse with Pythagorean's theorem

15^2 + 8^2 = 289

\sqrt{289} = 17

Now that you have all the sides use the opposite and hypotenuse to get sine and the adjacent and hypotenuse to get cosine then flip to get secant.

sin A = 15/17

cos A = 8/17

sec A = 17/8

A fossilized leaf contains 18% of its normal amount of carbon 14. How old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? Use 5600 years as
Sati [7]

Answer: The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{18}{100}\times 100=18  

a) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5600years}=0.00012years^{-1}

b) for finding the age

t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{18}  

t=13829years

The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

Find the approximate radius of a sphere with a surface area of 400 square inches.
Simora [160]
The equation for surface area of a sphere is SA=4*pi*r^2
We can plug in what we know to solve for r
400=4*pi*r^2
100=pi*r^2 (divide out the 4)
100/pi=r^2 (divide out the pi)
√(100/pi)=r (square root of both sides)
r=5.6 rounded to the nearest tenth

I need major help. I have a lot of missing work and really need help with algebra 1. (solving linear equations)
igor_vitrenko [27]
A= 5 + 2 = 7
You get this by doing the inverse operation so minus 2 by 2 and 7 then you get your answer so it should look like this
X+2= 7
-2. -2
———
X= 5

B: 15-4=11
+4. +4
————-
X= 15

C: 4(3) = 12

D: 50/5 = 10

Btw this should be easy, try doing it on to your own now.
