1)Solve the equation algebraically and give an exact answer in the simplest possible form √(x+1)+(3x)=√(8x+1) 2)Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. This means that after 5730 years, half of the carbon-14 has decayed and become a different substance. Suppose a discovery is found where the amount of carbon-14 is 78.5% of the original value. How old is the discovery? 1)Solve the equation algebraically and give an exact answer in the simplest possible form √(x+1)+(3x)=√(8x+1) 2)Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years.
