Use finite differences to determine the degree of the polynomial

A group of campers walked at a speed of 4. 5 mph from their campsite to a rest area. Their return trip to the campsite took 15 m

tia_tia [17]

The distance between the campsite and the rest area is 9 miles.

The given parameters:

<em>Initial speed of the campers, u = 4.5 mph</em>
<em>Final speed of the campers, v = 4 mph</em>

<em />

Let the time of motion from the campsite to rest area = t (hours)

Time for return trip = t hours + 15 mins

= (t + 0.25) hours

Let the distance between the campsite and rest area = d

d = 4.5t

d = 4(t + 0.25)

4.5t = 4(t + 0.25)

4.5t = 4t + 1

4.5t - 4t = 1

0.5t = 1

t = 2 hours

The distance between the campsite and the rest area is calculated as follows;

d = 4.5t

d = 4.5 x 2

d = 9 miles

Thus, the distance between the campsite and the rest area is 9 miles.

Classify each of the following as either relative or absolute fossil dating.

vladimir2022 [97]

Relative Dating; One fossil is found to be older than another fossil.

Absolute Dating; Age of a fossil is found to be 61.1 million years old.

<h3>How to classify fossils?</h3>

Relative dating is defined as the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. This dating can be gotten by looking at the position of rock layers. Whereas, absolute dating is the numeric age(specific age) of a layer of rocks or fossils. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating.

1. Relative Dating; One fossil is found to be older than another fossil.

This is because In an excavation of a project area, if we see a set of fossils found 5 meters down, they will be younger than fossils found 17 meters down.

2. Absolute Dating; Age of a fossil is found to be 61.1 million years old.

A fossil analyzed with radiometric dating would have undergone maybe 2 half lives of radioactive isotope.
