Answer:
The age of the wood is [tex] t = 17527.5 \ years [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that 88% of of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed , this means that the proportion of C-14 that is remaining is mathematically evaluated as
[tex] 1 - 0.88 = 0.12[/tex]
Hence
[tex] N = 0.12N_o[/tex]
Here N represents the remaining C-14 while [tex]N_o[/tex] is the original amount of C-14
Generally the half life of C-14 is [tex]h = 5730 \ years[/tex]
Generally from the formula of radioactive decay
[tex]N = N_o * 2^{-\frac{t}{h} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.12N_o = N_o * 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
=> [tex]0.12 = 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
taking the natural log of both sides
=> [tex] ln [0.12] = ln[ 2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }][/tex]
=> [tex] ln [0.12] = -\frac{t}{5730}ln(2) [/tex]
=> [tex] t = 17527.5 \ years [/tex]
The appropriate age of burned wood will be "17527.5 years".
Radioactive decayAccording to the question,
The proportion of C-14 = 1 - 0.88
= 0.12
then,
N = 0.12 N₀
Now,
The half-life of C-14 will be:
h = 5730 years
By using Radioactive decay formula, we get
→ N = N₀ × [tex](2)^{-\frac{t}{h} }[/tex]
By substituting the values,
0.12N₀ = N₀ × [tex](2)^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
0.12 = [tex]2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]
By taking "log" both sides,
ln[0.12] = ln[[tex]2^{-\frac{t}{5730} }[/tex]]
ln[0.12] = -[tex]\frac{t}{5730 \ ln(2)}[/tex]
hence,
The age will be:
t = 17527.5 years
Thus the above response is correct.

Quadrilateral EFGH is a scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD. Select the true statement.
Answer:
segment EF is twice as long as segment AB
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral ABCD are similar polygons. We can say that two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are equal to each other and their corresponding sides are proportional to each other.
From the image attached, we can see that side CD and side GH are corresponding sides. The ratio of their sides are to be proportional.
GH / CD = 12 / 6 = 2
Therefore Quadrilateral EFGH is twice the size of Quadrilateral ABCD. Since side EF and side AB are proportional, therefore segment EF is twice as long as segment AB

Solve the inequality. Graph the solution. -4s<6s +1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve the inequality by writing it.
-4s < 6s + 1
Now subtract -1 on both sides.
-4s - 1 < 6s
Now add 4s on both sides to combine like terms.
-1 < 10s
Now divide 10 on both sides.
-0.1 < s
Now flip it over properly.
s > -0.1

Bryce orders the following items from a catalog. What is the total price he charges to his credit card if the sales tax is 6 percent and nontaxable shipping costs $5 for the order? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.
Answer:
The answer is C : $115.54
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add every single items cost together, the total is $109.00
60 + 14 = 74
10 + 25 = 35
74 + 35 = $109
You then caculate what 6% percent of 109 is = $6.54
After that, you add the total and percent together
$6.54 + $109.00 = $115.54

1.multiiply the numerator by 5
The numerator is the top number which is 3 in this case
So 3x5 is 15
You keep the denominator 4
so 15/4 that is an improper fraction now divide 15 by 4
or count by fours
4,8,12,16
16 is more than 15 so the new numerator is 12 and how many times did we count to fours? 3 times
so 3 is a whole now subtract the 12 you already took with 15. 3 is the extra so 3 wholes and 3 extras which is 3 3/4
*remember you keep the denominator the same

A simple random sample of 100 men is chosen form a population with mean height 71 in and standard deviation 2.5 in. What is the probability that the average height of the men in the sample is less than 70.5in?
Answer:
2.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
The z score is used to determine how many standard deviations that the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive then the raw score is above the mean and if it is negative then it is below the mean. It is given by:

Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $(blank) thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.
Complete question :
Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a master's is $41 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $118 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.
Answer:
Bachelors = $53000
Masters = $65000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Let Salary of bachelor's degree holder = b
Salary of Master's degree holder = 2b - 41000
Master's + bachelor's salary = $118,000
Hence,
2b - 41000 + b = 118,000
3b = 118000 + 41000
3b = 159000
b = 159000 / 3
b = $53,000
Bachelor's degree salary = $53,000
Master's degree salary ; 2b - 41000
2(53000) - 41000 = 65000

The solution of the expression 4¹/₃ x 6 will be 26.
What is an expression?The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.
Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.
Given that the expression is 4¹/₃ x 6. The expression of multiplication will be solved as below,
E = 4¹/₃ x 6
E = ( 13 / 3 0 x 6

A. 64
B. 46
C. 28
D. 22
The solution of the given equation √x - 3 + 1 = 6 will be x = 64 so option (A) will be correct.
What is the equation?An equation can be defined in numerous ways. Algebraically speaking, an equation is a statement that shows the equality of two mathematical expressions.
For example 8x + 7y = 15.
Given the equation,
√x - 3 + 1 = 6
√x + (-3 + 1) = 6
√x - 2 = 6
√x = 6 + 2 = 8
By squaring
x = 8² = 64.
Hence "The solution of the given equation √x - 3 + 1 = 6 will be x = 64".
