Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. the bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 14c, with a half-life of about 5730 years. vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates 14c through food chains. when a plant or animal dies, it stops replacing its carbon and the amount of 14c begins to decrease through radioactive decay. therefore, the level of radioactivity must also decay exponentially. a parchment fragment was discovered that had about 74% as much 14c radioactivity as does plant material on earth today. estimate the age of the parchment. (round your answer to the nearest hundred years.) yr

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between ? 40°c and 125°c. to convert celsius temperature to fahrenheit temperature, the formula is c = 5 over 9 (f ? 32). write and solve the inequality to determine the fahrenheit temperature range at which this antifreeze protects the car. ? 40 > 5 over 9 (f ? 32) > 125; ? 40 > f > 257 ? 40 < 5 over 9 (f ? 32) < 125; ? 40 < f < 257 ? 40 < 5 over 9 (f ? 32); ? 40 < f 5 over 9 (f ? 32) < 125; f < 257
