Potassium-argon dating
One of the most widely used is potassium–argon dating (K–Ar dating). Potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium that decays into argon-40. The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years, far longer than that of carbon-14, allowing much older samples to be dated.

absolute dating is based on calculations of the age of rock strata based on half lives of minerals, relative dating is based on the assumed age of fossils found in the strata and the laws of super imposition.

Identify a counterexample: If the sum of two integers is even, then both the integers are even
exis [7]

Answer:

3+9 = 12

Explanation:

A <em>"counterexample" </em>is an example that shows the falseness of a statement.

Among the choices above,<em> 3+9 = 12</em> is the ideal counterexample. Its sum is an even integer (12); however, its addends are odd integers (3 and 9). So, this goes against the statement above.

The<u> first choice</u> (6+10 = 16) is clearly not a counterexample, but an example of the statement. The <u>second choic</u>e (14+9=23) is not a counterexample because its product is an odd integer, not an even integer. The statement is referring to the condition of an even integer for an answer.
