I have 4 factors. Three of my factors are 1, 2, and 6. What is my fourth factor?

1 answer:

7 0

The 4th factor would be 3. You would find this out through a factor tree. If you don't know the original number when you start you look at your numbers. A factor of 1 usually goes with the highest number, assuming that the number 6 is the highest factor, that would be the original number. As 2 is the other known factor than we know that 3 has to be the last factor, because 2 x 3 = 6. It cannot be the number 12 because then there would be 6 factors not the needed 4.

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

Answer:

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.

i.e. if V stands for volume of oil, then

$V' =kV\\dv/V= kdt\\ln V = kt+C\\V = Ae^{kt}$
