The half-life of carbon-14, 14C, is approximately 5,730 years. A bone fragment is estimated to have originally contained 6 milli

grams of 14C. Write the exponential decay equation where A is the amount (in mg) of carbon-14 remaining in the bone fragment after t years.

The general equation for exponential decay characterized by a half-life (T) is expressed as N(t) = N_0(1/2)^(t/T), where N(t) signifies the amount remaining at time t, N_0 stands for the initial amount (at t=0), and T denotes the half-life of the substance. The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years. When starting with 6 mg of carbon-14, the equation for the remaining amount after t years would be established.

For what values of x does the binomial 2x−1 take on a positive value?
zzz [11920]

Part A

To identify the values of x that make 2x−1 positive

⇒ 2x - 1 > 0

⇒ 2x > 1

⇒ x > \frac{1}{2}

As a result, for any x greater than \frac{1}{2}, the expression 2x-1 is positive

Part B

To find values of y making 21−37 negative

⇒ 21-3y < 0

⇒ 21 < 3y

⇒ 7 < y

Thus, for all y values exceeding 7, the expression 21-3y is negative

Part C

To identify values of c that digit 5−3c greater than 80

⇒ 5-3c > 80

⇒ -3c > 75

⇒ -c > 25

⇒ c < -25

Therefore, for values of c less than -25, the expression 5-3c surpasses 80

After a (not very successful) trick or treating round, Candice has 15 Tootsie rolls and 9 Twizzlers in her pillow case. Her moth
tester [11981]

Solution:

There are 4 ways.

Detailed explanation:

Candice has a total of 15 + 9 = 24 candies. Since she has three younger brothers, and 24 can be divided by 3 (24/3 = 8). Both 15 and 9 can also be divided by 3 (15/3 = 5 and 9/3 = 3).

- She can distribute 5 tootsie rolls to each brother.

- She can provide 3 twizzlers to each brother.

- She can give each brother 5 tootsie rolls and 3 twizzlers (if she decides to share all her candies).

- She can give them one of each type of candy, leaving her with 12 tootsie rolls and 6 twizzlers (this would be the best option if she wants to keep some for herself).

I see four methods to accomplish this, and two methods remain after her mother instructs her to share at least one of each candy type with all three brothers.

What are the solutions of the equation x4 + 6x2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
tester [11981]

The solutions to the equation are x=\pm i, x=\pm \sqrt{5}i

Explanation:

Given the equation x^{4}+6 x^{2}+5=0

, we aim to find the solutions of the equation.

Let us use x^{2} =u and x^4=u^2

Thus, the equation transforms into

u^{2}+6 u+5=0

Factoring the equation results in:

(u+1)(u+5)=0

      u=-1, u=-5

Inserting back x^{2} =u and allows us to solve for x.

Initially, we will substitute u=-1

Consequently, we find;

x^{2} =-1

x=\sqrt{-1}

x=\pm i

Similarly, by substituting u=-5, we derive;

x^{2} =-5

x=\sqrt{-5}

x=\pm \sqrt{5}i

Thus, the solutions to the equation are x=\pm i, x=\pm \sqrt{5}i
