A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 35 percent of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago, to the nearest year, was the artifact made

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the artifact was made about 8679 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.

Now using the following equation;

Final amount = (initial amount) [tex]([/tex]0.5[tex])^{(number of years/half-life)[/tex]

given that the tomb contains 35 percent of the carbon-14

meaning final amount / initial amount = 35% = 0.35

hence, from the equation;

0.35 = [tex]( 0.5 )^{ x/5730[/tex]

x = 5730 ln(0.35) / ln(0.5 )

x = 8678.5 ≈ 8679 years

Therefore, the artifact was made about 8679 years ago

A. Equation: x= 3
B. Equation: x = -2
C. Slope: undefined
D. Equation: y= 3
E. Slope: 0
F Equation: y= -2

Answers

Answer:

E. Slope: 0

F. Equation: y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The x-axis is a horizontal line. Horizontal line does not have any rise, therefore, slope (m) of horizontal line is zero.

The line that is parallel to the x-axis would have a slope of 0 as well.

Therefore, slope (m) = 0

✔️Since the line passes through (3, -2) let's find the y-intercept (b) to enable us write the equation of the line.

Substitute (x, y) = (3, -2) and m = 0 into y = mx + b

-2 = 0(3) + b

-2 = 0 + b

b = -2

✅To write the equation of the line that is parallel to the x-axis, substitute m = 0 and b = -2 into y = mx + b:

y = 0(x) + (-2)

y = 0 - 2

y = -2

What is the measure of angle R

Answers

Answer:  37 degrees

Explanation:

We have a right triangle because the tangent is always perpendicular to the radius, at the point of tangency.

That then leads to angles P and R being complementary, ie they add to 90

P+R = 90

R = 90-P

R = 90-53

R = 37

I have one qt of solution diluted out 1:4 How much do I need to add to end up with a final product that’s a 1:10 solution?

Answers

Answer:

1.1352 L

Step-by-step explanation:

L = qt 1.0567

qt = 0.946 L  

1:4 = 5

0.946/5 = 0.1892 L one part

0.1892 x 11 = 2.0812 11 parts as 1+10 =11

Answer therefore is subtracting 5 from 11 parts to get the final 6 parts added = 2.0812 - 0.946

2. The table below shows that the distance d varies directly as the time t. Find the constant of variation and the equation which describes the relation.

Solution:-

Since the distance d varies directly as the time t, then d = kt.

JJM Corporation recently issued 10-year bonds at a price of $1,000. These bonds pay $60 in interest each six months. Their price has remained stable since they were issued, that is, they still sell for $1,000. Due to additional financing needs, the firm wishes to issue new bonds that would have a maturity of 10 years, a par value of $1,000, and pay $40 in interest every six months. If both bonds have the same yield, how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise $2,000,000?

Answers

Answer:

2,596

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise $2,000,000

Given,

Coupon rate = 8.0%

Face value = 1000

Year to maturity = 10

NPER = 20

First step is to calculate the PMT using this formula

PMT = Face value × Coupon rate / 2

Let plug in the formula

PMT=(1000 × 0.08) / 2

PMT= 80/2

PMT= 40

Second step is to calculate the Rate using this formula

Yield = 12%

Rate = Yield / 2

Let plug in the formula

Rate= 12% / 2

Rate= 6%

Third step is to calculate the net proceeds using this formula

Net proceeds= PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV)

Let plug in the formula

Net proceeds= PV(6%, 20, 40, 1000)

Net proceeds= $770.60

Now let calculate how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise $2,000,000

New bonds needed= $2,000,000 / 770.60

New bonds needed= 2,596 bonds

Therefore how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise $2,000,000 will be 2,596 bonds
