Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 mill
ion barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain. (a) At what rate was the amount of oil in the well decreasing when there were 1,800,000 barrels remaining?
V' = -0.11552 *V\\= -0.11552(1.8)\\ \\=-0.20794 million per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 3 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,500,000 barrels remain.
