Archaeologists used pieces of burned wood, or charcoal, found at the site to date prehistoric paintings and drawings on walls and ceilings of a cave in Lascaux, France. Use the information in Example 3 of Section 3.1 to determine the appropriate age of a piece of burned wood, if it was found that 88% of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed. (Round your answer to the nearest hundred years.) years

The age of the wood is

Step-by-step explanation:

   From the question we are told that 88% of  of the C-14 found in living trees of the same type had decayed , this means that the proportion of C-14 that is remaining is mathematically evaluated as

Hence

Here  N represents the remaining C-14 while is the original  amount of  C-14

Generally the half life of C-14 is  

Generally from the formula of radioactive decay

=>    

=>    

taking the natural log of both sides

=>  

=>  

=>  

parallel and congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the movement of translation is linear.   these have the same translation because you are using the same rule for each point of the triangle so you will see the same slope being used to get from a point on the triangle to its image.

same slope!   you should think parallel when you see those 2 word together (well unless it's the same line but it can't be because we are coming from different points here)

congruent! because each point is being moved the same distance.

the solution is 12x-6y
