A student in Greece discovers a pottery bowl that contains 28% of its original amount of C-14 find the age of the pottery bowl to the nearest year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The age of the pottery bowl is 10523 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of substance:

The amount of a substance after t years is given by the following equation:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate.

Half-life of C14.

Researching, the half-life of c-14 is 5730 years.

This means that:

[tex]A(5730) = 0.5A(0)[/tex]

We use this to find r. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{5730}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{5730} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[5730]{(1-r)^{5730}} = \sqrt[5730]{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.5^{\frac{1}{5730}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.99987903922[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.99987903922)^t[/tex]

Age of the pottery bowl:

We have that:

[tex]A(t) = 0.28A(0)[/tex]

We have to find t. So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.99987903922)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.28A(0) = A(0)(0.99987903922)^t[/tex]

[tex](0.99987903922)^t = 0.28[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.99987903922)^t} = \log{0.28}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{0.99987903922} = \log{0.28}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{0.28}}{\log{0.99987903922}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 10523.1[/tex]

So

The age of the pottery bowl is 10523 years.

Since this is Equilateral Equiangular triangle each angle is going to be 60 degrees (sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 60 degrees).

Answer: y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, to solve this problem, we must identify what type of triangle this is.

This is an equalateral/equiangular triangle. This means that the sides are the same size and most importantly, the angles are the same degrees. How do we know this though? We know this because if a triangle is equilateral, it has equal angles. The reason we know this is an equilateral triangle is that it is denoted by the marks of congruency or the little dashes on the sides. All triangles that are equiangular have the same three angles of 60 degrees each. To top that off, 60 x 3 = 180, the number of degrees a triangle must have together for it to be considered a triangle. So how do we figure this out though?

Firstly, we must make the equation EQUAL to 60 degrees

60 = 8y - 4

Then simply solve

Add the 4 to each side, we need to do the reverse sign to get rid of it on the variable side. So it would be positive (+4)

60 + 4 = 8y

64 = 8y

Then, simply, we divide each side by 8 to get our answer!

64/8 = 8y/8

8 = y

y = 8

You can confirm by plugging the 8 into y, and you will get 60.

Jamila deposits $800 in an acount that earns yearly simple interest at a rate of 2.65%. How much money is an account after 3 years and 9 months

Answers

Answer:

In 3.75 years, you will have $865.30

Step-by-step explanation:

 

The amount of money in the account after 3 years and 9 months if Jamila deposits $800 in an account that earns yearly simple interest at a rate of 2.65% is $882.44.

What is interest?

When the loan is given to you, then some amount is charged to you for the principal amount and that is called interest.

Given:

The principle, P = $800,

The rate of interest, r = 2.65%,

The time period, n = 3 years and 9 months (total month / 12 = 45 / 12 = 3.75)

Calculate the amount by the following formula,

A = P (1 + r / 100)ⁿ,

Here, A is the amount.

Substitute the values,

[tex]A = 800(1 + 2.65 / 100)^{3.75}[/tex]

A = $882.44

Therefore, the amount of money in the account after 3 years and 9 months is $882.44.

Where, y is earnings for working in dollars and cents and x is the number of working hours.

To find:

The rate of change.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]          ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

[tex]y=21.2x[/tex]            ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]m=21.2[/tex]

Therefore, the rate of change is 21.2 dollar and cents per hour.

Solve with elimination

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

{  

3x−y=2

2x−y=3

​  

 

In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.

3x−y=2,2x−y=3

Subtract 2x−y=3 from 3x−y=2 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.

3x−2x−y+y=2−3

Add −y to y. Terms −y and y cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.

3x−2x=2−3

Add 3x to −2x.

x=2−3

Add 2 to −3.

x=−1

Substitute −1 for x in 2x−y=3. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for y directly.

2(−1)−y=3

Multiply 2 times −1.

−2−y=3

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

−y=5

Divide both sides by −1.

y=−5

The system is now solved.

x=−1,y=−5

She finds agiant tree and works to pierce its thick bark withher tusks. She is prying and poking to get atthe water the tree often stores inside. This is noordinary tree but a baobab, a tree that looms largein size and importance for both the animals andpeople of Africa The baobabs astonishing appearance alone provesit is special. It can grow up to 60 feet high and30 feet wide, soaring above most other life in thedry savannah. The baobab has a wide barrel-liketrunk topped with shorter, twisted branches. Itonly grows leaves for two short periods, giving thebranches the appearance of gnarled roots for mostof the year. In fact, some African legends say thata god, angry at the baobab, decided to uproot andreplant it upside down. This remarkable tree survives dry conditions andis found in many regions of Africa. Its roots spreadout up to a hundred feet away to gather neededwater. The adaptable sponge-like bark contracts indry months and expands in wet ones. Baobab treesserve as a source of water, food, and a safe homefor a variety of animals. In particular, the whitebacked vulture, with a wingspan of about sevenfeet, nests high in the baobabs branches. The greatbird only nests once a year, laying just one egg. Thetall, strong baobab provides the ideal site for severalmonths of safety for the mother and baby vulture. For centuries, the baobab has also beenessential to the people in various parts of Africa,many of whom call it the Tree of Life.

People strip off thefibrous bark to make rope, cloth, roofing, andpaper. Unlike most other trees, the baobab canendure this practice, regenerating its bark andcontinuing to grow.
