Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.

It will take 18,569.2 years for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of Carbon-14 after t years is given by the following equation:

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year.

This means that

How many years will it take for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount?

This is t for which:

So

It will take 18,569.2 years for carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount

the answer is b i just did that

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
