The radioactive isotope carbon-14 is present in small quantities in all life forms, and it is constantly replenished until the organism dies, after which it decays to stable carbon-12 at a rate proportional to the amount of carbon-14 present, with a half-life of 5549 years. Let C(t) be the amount of carbon-14 present at time t.
(a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation C' = -kC.
(b) In 1988 three teams of scientists found that the Shroud of Turin, which was reputed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, contained 91% of the amount of carbon-14 contained in freshly made cloth of the same material. How old was the Shroud of Turin at the time of this data?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) k = 0.00012491389

b) The Shroud of Turin was 755 years old at the time of this data.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation C' = -kC.

First we find the differential equation, by separation of variables. So

[tex]\int \frac{C^{\prime}}{C} dt = -\int k dt[/tex]

So

[tex]\ln{C} = -kt + K[/tex]

In which K is the constant of integration, representing the initial amount of substance. So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

Half-life of 5549 years.

This means that [tex]C(5549) = 0.5C(0)[/tex]. We use this to find k. So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

[tex]0.5C(0) = C(0)e^{-5549k}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-5549k} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-5549k}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]-5549k = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5549}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.00012491389[/tex]

So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

(b) In 1988 three teams of scientists found that the Shroud of Turin, which was reputed to be the burial cloth of Jesus, contained 91% of the amount of carbon-14 contained in freshly made cloth of the same material. How old was the Shroud of Turin at the time of this data?

This is t for which [tex]C(t) = 0.91C(0)[/tex]

So

[tex]C(t) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

[tex]0.91C(0) = C(0)e^{-0.00012491389t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.00012491389t} = 0.91[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.00012491389t}} = \ln{0.91}[/tex]

[tex]-0.00012491389t = \ln{0.91}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.91}}{0.00012491389}[/tex]

[tex]t = 755[/tex]

The Shroud of Turin was 755 years old at the time of this data.

Answer:

6.986.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x 1 + 9 x 1/10 + 8 x 1/100 + 6 x 1/1000

We do the multiplications first    ( according to PEMDAS):-

= 6 + 9 * 0.1 + 8 * 0.01 + 6 * 0.001

= 6 + 0.9 + 0.08 + 0006

= 6 986.

The value of the equation in the decimal form is A = 6.986

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

A = 6 x 1 + 9 x 1/10 + 8 x 1/100 + 6 x 1/1000

On simplifying the equation , we get

The value of 6 x 1 = 6

The value of 9 x 1/10 = 0.9

The value of 9 x 1/100 = 0.08

The value of 6 x 1/1000 = 0.006

So , substituting the values in the equation A , we get

A = 6 + 0.9 + 0.08 + 0.006

On simplifying the equation , we get

A = 6.986

Therefore , the value of A is 6.986

Hence , the value of the equation is 6.986

mr. jones has a patio in the sahpe of a trapezoid. a round fountain having a circumference of 14 pi linear feet is placed in the corner as showin in the accompanying diagram. to the nearest square foot, how much of the patio s area ins not taken up by the fountanin? reall tha the circumferencie of a circle is calculated using c = 2

Answers

The area of the patio not taken up by the fountain is 241ft²

Please find attached an image of the patio

Area of the patio not taken up by the fountain = area of patio - area of fountain

The patio is in a shape of a trapezoid. Thus, the area of the patio can be determined by using the formula for the area of a trapezoid

A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs

Characteristics of a trapezoid

It has 4 vertices It has 4 edges If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram

Area of a trapezoid =  0.5 x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height

Taking a look at the image, we are not provided with the height of the trapezoid, just the parallel sides and the hypotenuse.

Pythagoras theorem can be used to determine the the height of the trapezoid

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = height  

b = base = 20 ft - 12 ft = 8ft

8ft / 2 = 4

c =  hypotenuse

a² + 4² = 25²

a² = 625 - 16

a² = 609

√609 = 24.68 ft

Area of the trapezoid = 0.5 x (20 + 12) x 24.68 = 394.88 ft²

The fountain is in the shape of  a circle.

Area of a circle = πr²

Where : = π = pi = 22/7

R = radius  

The radius would have to determined from the circumference

circumference of a circle = 2πr

14π = 2πr

r = 14π / 2π

r = 7

Area of the circle = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] × 7²

[tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] × 49 = 154 ft²

Area of the patio not taken up by the fountain = 394.88 ft² - 154 ft² = 240.88ft²

To round off to the nearest square, look at the first number after the decimal, if it is less than 5, add zero to the units term, If it is equal or greater than 5, add 1 to the units term.

The tenth digit is greater than 5, so one is added to 0. The number becomes 241ft²

solution to the differential equation.

У(Ñ)= ___________

Answers

Recall that

[tex]\sin(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

Differentiating the power series series for y(x) gives the series for y'(x) :

[tex]y(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n \implies y'(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty na_nx^{n-1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)a_{n+1}x^n[/tex]

Now, replace everything in the DE with the corresponding power series:

[tex]y'-2xy = 6\sin(3x) \implies[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)a_{n+1}x^n - 2\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^{n+1} = 6\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{(3x)^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

The series on the right side has no even-degree terms, so if we split up the even- and odd-indexed terms on the left side, the even-indexed [tex](n=2k)[/tex] series should vanish and only the odd-indexed [tex](n=2k+1)[/tex] terms would remain.

Split up both series on the left into even- and odd-indexed series:

[tex]y'(x) = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} + \sum_{k=0}^\infty (2k+2)a_{2k+2}x^{2k+1}[/tex]

[tex]-2xy(x) = \displaystyle -2\left(\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k}x^{2k+1} + \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k+1}x^{2k+2}\right)[/tex]

Next, we want to condense the even and odd series:

• Even:

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} - 2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k+1}x^{2k+2}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} - 2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k+1}x^{2(k+1)}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle a_1 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} - 2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k+1}x^{2(k+1)}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle a_1 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} - 2 \sum_{k=1}^\infty a_{2(k-1)+1}x^{2k}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle a_1 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty (2k+1)a_{2k+1}x^{2k} - 2 \sum_{k=1}^\infty a_{2k-1}x^{2k}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle a_1 + \sum_{k=1}^\infty \bigg((2k+1)a_{2k+1} - 2a_{2k-1}\bigg)x^{2k}[/tex]

• Odd:

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty 2(k+1)a_{2(k+1)}x^{2k+1} - 2\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k}x^{2k+1}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \bigg(2(k+1)a_{2(k+1)}-2a_{2k}\bigg)x^{2k+1}[/tex]

[tex]=\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \bigg(2(k+1)a_{2k+2}-2a_{2k}\bigg)x^{2k+1}[/tex]

Notice that the right side of the DE is odd, so there is no 0-degree term, i.e. no constant term, so it follows that [tex]a_1=0[/tex].

The even series vanishes, so that

[tex](2k+1)a_{2k+1} - 2a_{2k-1} = 0[/tex]

for all integers k ≥ 1. But since [tex]a_1=0[/tex], we find

[tex]k=1 \implies 3a_3 - 2a_1 = 0 \implies a_3 = 0[/tex]

[tex]k=2 \implies 5a_5 - 2a_3 = 0 \implies a_5 = 0[/tex]

and so on, which means the odd-indexed coefficients all vanish, [tex]a_{2k+1}=0[/tex].

This leaves us with the odd series,

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^\infty \bigg(2(k+1)a_{2k+2}-2a_{2k}\bigg)x^{2k+1} = 6\sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k \frac{x^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)!}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2(k+1)a_{2k+2} - 2a_{2k} = \dfrac{6(-1)^k}{(2k+1)!}[/tex]

We have

[tex]k=0 \implies 2a_2 - 2a_0 = 6[/tex]

[tex]k=1 \implies 4a_4-2a_2 = -1[/tex]

[tex]k=2 \implies 6a_6-2a_4 = \dfrac1{20}[/tex]

[tex]k=3 \implies 8a_8-2a_6 = -\dfrac1{840}[/tex]

So long as you're given an initial condition [tex]y(0)\neq0[/tex] (which corresponds to [tex]a_0[/tex]), you will have a non-zero series solution. Let [tex]a=a_0[/tex] with [tex]a_0\neq0[/tex]. Then

[tex]2a_2-2a_0=6 \implies a_2 = a+3[/tex]

[tex]4a_4-2a_2=-1 \implies a_4 = \dfrac{2a+5}4[/tex]

[tex]6a_6-2a_4=\dfrac1{20} \implies a_6 = \dfrac{20a+51}{120}[/tex]

and so the first four terms of series solution to the DE would be

[tex]\boxed{a + (a+3)x^2 + \dfrac{2a+5}4x^4 + \dfrac{20a+51}{120}x^6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula will tell you Michelle's monthly payment.

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t)) . . . . loan value P at interest rate r for t years

  A = $124,500(0.059/12)/(1 -(1 +0.059/12)^(-12·10)) ≈ $1375.96

__

The total of Michelle's 120 monthly payments is ...

  12 × $1375.96 = $165,115.20

This amount pays both principal and interest, so the amount of interest she pays is ...

  $165,115.20 -124,500 = $40,615.20

Michelle will pay $40,615.20 in interest over the course of the loan.

[tex]\frac{tanA+tanB}{1-tanAtanB}[/tex] = - tanC ( multiply both sides by 1 - tanAtanB )

tanA + tanB = - tanC( 1 - tanAtanB) ← distribute

tanA+ tanB = - tanC + tanAtanBtanC ( add tanC to both sides )

tanA + tanB + tanC = tanAtanBtanC , that is

Answer:

1. x = 7

2. 270x+274

Explanation:

see attached filed for step by step reasoning

Answer:

1. x = 7

2. x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3(2x + 4) = 54

Multiply 3 by the numbers in “( )”

6x + 12 = 54

Subtract 12 from both sides

6x = 42

x = 42/6

x = 7
****************************************
2. 4 + (5x + 5) = 54

Subtract 4 from both sides

5x + 5 = 50

Subtract 5 from both sides

5x = 45

x = 45/5

x = 9

A ball is dropped from a height of 14 ft. The elasticity of the ball is such that it always bounces up one-third the distance it has fallen. (a) Find the total distance the ball has traveled at the instant it hits the ground the fourth time. (Enter an exact number.)

The total distance the ball has traveled at the instant it hits the ground the fourth time [tex]28ft.[/tex]

What is the total distance?

Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. It is the actual length of the path travelled from one point to another.

Here given that,

A ball is dropped from a height of [tex]14[/tex] ft. The elasticity of the ball is such that it always bounces up one-third the distance it has fallen.

So, after striking with the ground it covers the distance [tex]14[/tex] ft. so it rebounds to the height is [tex]\frac{1}{3}(14)[/tex].

Then again it hits the ground and covers the distance  [tex]\frac{1}{3}(14)[/tex] and again after rebounding it goes to the height is

[tex]\frac{1(1)}{3(3)}.(14)=\frac{(1)^2}{(3)^2}(14)[/tex]

Then it falls the same distance and goes back to the height

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ×[tex](\frac{(1)^2}{(3)^2})[/tex] ×[tex]14[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(1)^3}{(3)^3}(14)[/tex]

So, the total distance travelled is

[tex]14+2[\frac{1}{3}(14)+(\frac{1}{3})^2(14)+(\frac{1}{3})^3(14)+...][/tex]

We take the sum is twice because it goes back to the particular height and falls to the same distance.

[tex]S=14+2(\frac{\frac{1}{3}(14)}{1-\frac{1}{3}})\\\\\\S=\frac{a}{1-r}\\\\\\S=14+2(\frac{\frac{14}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}})\\\\S=14+2(\frac{14}{2})\\\\S=14+2(7)\\\\S=14+14\\\\S=28ft[/tex]

Hence, the total distance the ball has traveled at the instant it hits the ground the fourth time [tex]28ft.[/tex]

Answers

the answer for your question is altitude

The line PQ of the triangle is an altitude. The correct option is A.

What is the altitude of the triangle?

A line segment passing through a triangle's vertex and running perpendicular to the line containing the base is the triangle's height in geometry.

The extended base of the altitude is the name given to this line that contains the opposing side. The foot of the altitude is the point at where, the extended base and the height converge.

In the given triangle the line segment PQ is passing through a triangle's vertex and running perpendicular to the line containing the base is the triangle's height in geometry.

2/8 of a rope is 28 meters.What is the length of the rope? A.32 B.42 C.4 D.21​

let length be x

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2x}{8}=28[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{4}=28[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4(28)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=112[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

there is something wrong with your problem description.

the offered answer options do not fit to the solution as it is described.

2/8th of a rope is 28 meters long. how long is the whole rope ?

as the other answer said : 2/8 = 1/4

and 1/4th of the rope x = 28 m

1/4 × x = 28

x (the length of the whole rope) = 4×28 = 112 meters

but - maybe the original problem said that 7/8th (and not 2/8th) of a rope is 28 m.

7/8 × x = 28

1/8 × x = 4

x = 32 m

then A (32) would be the right answer !

The value of the test statistic is the z-score z = -0.88

What is a z-score?

The relationship between a value and the mean of a set of values is expressed numerically by a Z-score. The Z-score is computed using the standard deviations from the mean. A Z-score of zero indicates that the data point's score and the mean score are identical.

The Z-score is calculated using the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

where z: standard score

x: observed value

μ: mean of the sample

σ: standard deviation of the sample

Given data ,

Let the test statistic value be represented as z

Now , the probability of emergency room visitors are insured is q = 0.54

The total number of patients n = 120

The number of patients that were insured = 60

So , the percentage of people that were insured p = 60/120 = 0.5

Now , test statistic value z = ( p - q ) / [ √ ( q ( 1 - q )/n² ]

The value of z score is

z = [ 0.5 - 0.54 ] / √ 0.54 ( 1 - 0.54 ) / 120²

On simplifying the equation , we get

The value of z score is z = -0.88

Hence , the test statistic is z = -0.88

(30 points).Paragraph to be revised:Essay claim: Laws requiring people to show photo identification in order to vote decrease voter participation.Lots of people don't have photo identification. Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is just not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States.
