A support pole for an ancient structure is found to have one-sixth of the carbon-14 of a modern, living tree. How long ago did the tree used to make the support pole die? Give your answer to the nearest whole number. (Assume that half-life of carbon-14 is 5770 years.)

Answers

Answer 1

14912 years ago, the tree that was used to kill the support pole died which is one-sixth of the carbon-14 of a modern, living tree.

What are the properties of logarithms?

There are four basic properties of logarithms:

logₐ(xy) = logₐx + logₐy.

logₐ(x/y) = logₐx - logₐy.

logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐx.

logₐx = logₓa / logₓb.

One-sixth of a modern, living tree's carbon-14 is present in an ancient structure.

Assume that the half-life of carbon-14 is 5770 years

As per the given condition, the expression would be

[tex]A(t) = A_o}\dfrac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{t}{5770} )}\\A(t) = (0.167)A_o}[/tex]

[tex](0.167)A_o} = A_o}\dfrac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{t}{5770} )}[/tex]

[tex](0.167) = \dfrac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{t}{5770} )}[/tex]

Take the logarithms of both sides to get:

[tex]log(0.167) =log \dfrac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{t}{5770} )}[/tex]

Using logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐx.

⇒ log 0.167= (t/5770) log (0.5)

⇒ log 0.167/ log (0.5)= (t/5770)

⇒ 3 = (t/5770)

⇒ t = 3 × 5770

⇒ t = 14912

Hence, 14912 years ago, the tree that was used to kill the support pole died.

denny is in the car repair business. Denny recently calculated his total cost conditions. He found that the total cost of repairing s cars is TC(s)=2s^2+10

If the market price is $20, how many cars will Denny be willing to repair?

Answers

When the market price is $20, the number of cars that Denny will be willing to repair is 5 cars.

How to calculate the value?

It should be noted that the total revenue will be:

= price × quantity

= 20 × s

= 20s

where s = number of cars

The marginal revenue will be 20.

The total cost is given as:

= 2s² + 10

The marginal cost will be 4s

We will equate the marginal. This will be:

4s = 20

Divide

s = 20/4

s = 5

Therefore, the number is 5.

a car rental company charges a daily rate of $26 plus $0.10 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $71. How many miles did you drive?

Answers

Answer: 450 miles

Step-by-step explanation: we can put the info we got from the question into an equation. since the car was only rented for a day, the daily rate that was paid was $26. and $0.10 for every mile the car was driven. So we can put into the equation 71 = 26 +0.10m, where m represents miles. Now subtract 26 from both sides and we get 45 = 0.10m. Divide both sides by 0.10 and we get m= 450

Wilson hires a financial analyst to analyse costs and profits for his cereal production business.

At what point or number of bags of cereal will Wilson’s profit start decreasing

Answers

The company's profit will start to decline if it only produces one bag.

Given f(x) = 2x⁴ ₋ 4x³ ₊ 7

Differentiate it with respect to x.

therefore, f'x) = 8x³ ₋ 12x²

= 4x²(2x ₋ 3)

For decreasing, f'(x) ≤ 0

⇒ 4x²(2x ₋ 3) ≤ 0

⇒ 2x ₋ 3  ≤  0

x  ≤ 3/2

Since the number of bags are represented by x.

Hence, x ∈ N

Therefore, x = 1 is only possibility.

Therefore, if the company only produces one bag, its profit begins to decline.

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 55.7% of response times are between 4 and 6 minutes.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

For this problem, the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 4.5, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

The proportion between 4 and 6 minutes is the p-value of Z when X = 6 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 4, hence:

X = 6:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (6 - 4.5)/1.2

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a p-value of 0.8944.

X = 4:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Z = (4 - 4.5)/1.2

Z = -0.42

Z = -0.42 has a p-value of 0.3372.

0.8944 - 0.3372 = 0.5572 = 55.72%.

Answers

The function C(x) that represents the cost of a pizza with at least one topping, where x is the number of toppings is C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x

The domain is x >= 0 and the range is c(x) >= 9.99

Write a function C(x) that represents the cost of a pizza with at least one topping, where x is the number of toppings.

The given parameters are:

One topping = 9.99

Additional topping = 1.25 each

We have x to represent the number of toppings

This means that

C(x) = One topping + Additional topping  * x

So, we have

C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x

How to find the domain and range?

We have

C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x

The smallest number of topping is 0

So, the domain is x >= 0

Substitute 0 for x in C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x

C(0) = 9.99 + 1.25(0)

This gives

C(0) = 9.99

Answer:
C(x) = 8.74 + 1.25x

Domain: 1 ≤ x ≤ 10

Range: [9.99, 21.24]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We need to find the function C(x) that represents the cost of a pizza with at least one topping, where x is the number of toppings.

We know that a pizza with one topping is $9.99 and that you can add additional toppings for 1.25 each.

So the equation is C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x right?

Not really... Since $9.99 is the price of a pizza and 1 topping, we need to subtract 1 from x otherwise we would be paying for a pizza with 2 toppings when we had ordered a pizza with 1!

So the new equation is:

    C(x) = 9.99 +1.25(x - 1)

or, C(x) = 9.99 + 1.25x - 1.25

or, C(x) = 1.25x + 8.74  

b) We need to find the Domain of C(x).

We know that the pizzeria's menu lists 10 different toppings and that a pizza has at least one topping.

So we can choose up to 10 different toppings. And we need at least 1 topping.

∴ Domain is 1 ≤ x ≤ 10.

b) We need to find the Range of C(x).

We know that the domain of C(x) is 1 ≤ x ≤ 10, and that a pizza with 1 topping is $9.99.

Since we already know the minimum (9.99) all we have to do is find the maximum. We can do that by plugging in 10 into C(x) since it is the maximum of our domain.

    C(10) = 1.25(10) + 8.74

or, C(10) = 12.50 + 8.74

or, C(10) = 21.24

∴ Range of C(x) = [9.99, 21.24]

Answer:

C(x) = 8.74 + 1.25x

Domain: 1 ≤ x ≤ 10

Range: [9.99, 21.24]
