A farmer in China discovers a mammal
hide that contains 71% of its original
amount of C-14.
N = Noekt
No = inital amount of C-14 (at time
t = 0)
N = amount of C-14 at time t
k = 0.0001
t = time, in years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you're looking for the age of the mammal hide, since there's no question here, but there's also nothing else to solve for. Remember a few things before we move on. First, if we are not told the initial amount with which we start, we have to assume that it's 100%. Second, remember that natural log and e are inverses of each other so they eliminate each other in application. Now to set up the problem. It looks like this:

[tex]71=100e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by 100 to get

[tex].71=e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and take the natural log of both sides. The other important thing to remember about the rules for logs and natural logs is that when you take the natural log of something, you are "allowed" to move the exponent down out front, which is why we do this. We cannot currently solve for t when it's stuck up there where it is right now. Taking the natural log allows us to bring that exponent down AND eliminate both the natural log and the e at the same time:

ln(.71) = -.0001t and we divide to solve for t:

[tex]\frac{ln(.71)}{-.0001}=t[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{-.3424903089}{-.0001}=t[/tex] so

t = 3424.9 years, or rounded, 3425 years.

Battle is making fruit baskets, which include apples and bananas to send to some of her real estate clients. She wants each basket to have at least 12 pieces of fruit but the fruit should weigh no more than 80 ounces total. On average each apple weighs 5 ounces and each banana weighs 7 ounces.

Answers

Answer:

there are 2 apples in the basket

there are 10 banana in the basket

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

We have, Battle is making fruit baskets, which include apples and bananas to send to some of her real estate clients. She wants each basket to have at least 12 pieces of fruit.

let x for apple And y for banana So, x+y=12---Equation 1

And, the fruit should weigh no more than 80 ounces total. On average each apple weighs 5 ounces and each banana weighs 7 ounces.

Thus, 5x+7y=80 ----Equation 2

Now, (Equation 1) × 5 Subtract with (Equation 2) We get,

2y = 20 ⇒ y=10 (there are 10 banana in basket)

Put value of y=10 in Equation 2 we get

5x+70=80 ⇔ x=2(there are 2 apples in basket)

you've run 250 ft of cable that has a loss rate of 3.6 dB per 100 ft. what is your total loss?

Answers

Answer:

2.5 dB/100 ft

Explanation:

If 5 dB was lost after 200 ft of cable and 100 ft is half of 200 ft, then the rate of loss should be 2.5 dB per 100 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total loss is 9 dB

Since we have 250 ft of cable that has a loss rate of 3.6 dB per 100 ft, we need to find the total loss of the 250 ft of cable.

To find this total loss, we multiply the loss rate by the total length of cable.

So, the total loss for the 250 ft of cable, L = loss rate × length of cable.

Since loss rate = 3.6 dB per 100 ft and the length of cable = 250 ft, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = loss rate × length of cable.

L =  3.6 dB/100 ft × 250 ft.

L = 3.6 dB/10  × 25.

L = 3.6 × 25/10 dB

L = 3.6 × 2.5 dB

L = 9 dB

So, the total loss is 9 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

scientific notation should have one positive in front of the decimal point, then any number (>=1) of positions after the decimal point, followed by the multiplication with the property power of 10.

the only number not following that rule is b (2 positions in front of the decimal point).

4x - 2y = 6

2x - y = 3

are the same line, as we can multiply the second equation by 2 and get exactly equation 1.

so, both lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept. therefore, they have infinitely many solutions.
