I believe the answer to your question is b.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For a first order decay, fraction remaining = 0.5n where n = number of half lives elapsed.
fraction remaining = 55% = 0.55
0.55 = 0.5n
log 0.55 = n log 0.5
-0.2596 = -0.301 n
n = 0.8625 = # of half lives elapsed
0.8625 half lives x 2.5 billion years/half live = 2.16 billion years have elapsed = age of the rock
b) 0.15 = 0.5n
log 0.15 = n log 0.5
-0.824 = -0.301 n
n = 2.74 half lives
2.5 billion years/half life x 2.74 half lives = 6.85 billion years = age of rock
Answer:
The equation would be y = 8x - 38
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of this new line, we first need to identify the slope of the first line. In slope-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of x. This makes the slope of the first equation 8. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our new slope will also be 8.
Given that and the point, we can solve for the equation using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 8(x - 5)
y - 2 = 8x - 40
y = 8x - 38
So what is the question the fact is not a question please comment me and I will see what I can do look luck and a I am sorry I can`t do more ):
