... Use the fact that after 5715 years a given amount of carbon-14 will have decayed to half the original amount to find the exponential decay model for carbon-14. • In 1947, earthenware jars containing what are known as the Dead Sea Scrolls were found by an Arab Bedouin herdsman. Analysis indicated tha ...

... Up to here, we have only discussed reflections whose "mirrors" are linear hyperplanes. We would like to extend our discussion to affine hyperplanes. The distinction is as follows. A linear hyperplane is the orthogonal complement of a fixed vector v, and consists of all those vectors w for which v ...

... Once t is determined from (7), rather than calculating x and y from (1), (4) and (5), it is more convenient to substitute x=1cos() and y=1sin() in equations (4) and (5) (where is the angle between A1P and the x axis) and to solve one of these two equations for , which yields up to two values ...

... same. We’ll do this by showing that each column on the left hand side equals the corresponding column on the right hand side. Let’s look at the LHSide first. We add the 2nd row of A to the 2nd row of B, and then this sum becomes the 2nd row of A + B. Taking transposes, this gives the 2nd row of (A + ...
