Answer:

  • a) 125,220,046 barrels
  • b) 71.25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Oil consumption:</u>

  • 2000000 barrels/year

<u>Rate of increase of consumption:</u>

  • 2% = 0.02 per year

<u>Total reserves </u>

  • 155*2000000 = 310000000 barrels

a) ....................................................................................

<u>Total oil consumption at the end of 42 years:</u>

  • 2,000,000
  • 2,000,000*1.02 =
  • 2.000,000*1.02^2
  • ...
  • 2,000,000*1.02^41

<u>Sum</u>:

  • 2000000*(1 + 1.02+ 1.02^2+ ...+ 1.02^41) =
  • 2000000*(1.02^41 - 1)/(1.02 - 1) = 125,220,046 barrels

b)  ....................................................................................

<u>Oil reserves will last:</u>

  • 2000000*(1.02^x - 1)/(1.02 - 1) = 310000000
  • (1.02^x - 1)/0.02 = 155
  • 1.02^x - 1 = 155*0.02
  • 1.02^x =1 +3.1
  • 1.02^x = 4.1
  • x log 1.02 = log 4.1
  • x = log 4.1 /log 1.02
  • x =  71.25 years

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

f(-2) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 is x, so replace x as -2 into the equation

f (-2) = 2(-2) + 3

f (-2) = -4 + 3

f (-2) = -1
