dumbcow I need help Please!, I attach file ,just set up equation do not solve
which question?
all
just write equation, do not solve
23) N is number hairs on head, d is num of days \[N = 1,400,000 -75d\] \[\rightarrow d = \frac{1,400,000-N}{75}\] convert days to years 24) Not sure, do they give decay equation for carbon14? 25) half-life means half the initial value of a \[\frac{1}{2} = e ^{-.0856t} \rightarrow \ln \frac{1}{2} = \ln e ^{-.0856t}\]
25?
y=1/2? t=?
yes set y = a/2, a cancels out, solve for t
23) N =?
num of hairs left on head, for this problem N = 1000, solve for d
ok, 24) u knpw equation or formular?
i dont know decay function for carbon14
let me send u a lesion ,note for this question
ok, its similar to 25) just set it equal to 1/12 instead of 1/2 and solve for time
OK, I will try to solve ,Thank
?
necer mind i know
thank
23) F ?
correct
on 24 ) say dinosaurs live from 220 million to 63 million years ago
right, so is it likely the bone is from a dinosaur i was able to find that the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5000 years so the 1/12 life is reasonably well less than a million years
how u get 5000 years?
