Answer:

In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a yields zero. Just remember this number is also known as the opposite sign.

Hope this helps :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were millio

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial =1\ million$

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

Required

At what rate did oil decrease when 600000 barrels remain

To do this, we make use of the following notations

t = Time

A = Amount left in the well

So:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where k represents the constant of proportionality

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Multiply both sides by dt/A

$\frac{dA}{dt} * \frac{dt}{A} = kA * \frac{dt}{A}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = k\ dt$

Integrate both sides

$\int\ {\frac{dA}{A} = \int\ {k\ dt}$

$ln\ A = kt + lnC$

Make A, the subject

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$t = 0\ when\ A =1\ million$ i.e. At initial

So, we have:

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$1000000 = Ce^{k*0}$

$1000000 = Ce^{0}$

$1000000 = C*1$

$1000000 = C$

$C =1000000$

Substitute $C =1000000$ in $A = Ce^{kt}$

$A = 1000000e^{kt}$

To solve for k;

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

i.e.

$t = 6\ A = 500000$

So:

$500000= 1000000e^{k*6}$

Divide both sides by 1000000

$0.5= e^{k*6}$

Take natural logarithm (ln) of both sides

$ln(0.5) = ln(e^{k*6})$

$ln(0.5) = k*6$

Solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(0.5)}{6}$

$k = \frac{-0.693}{6}$

$k = -0.1155$

Recall that:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where

$\frac{dA}{dt}$ = Rate

So, when

$A = 600000$

The rate is:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -0.1155 * 600000$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -69300$

<em>Hence, the amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly</em>

Mrs Smith is completing a mathematics problem. She knows when 6 is added to four times a number, the result is 50. What would be

Lesechka [4]

EXPLANATION:

-To formulate an equation, you must first know what data the exercise gives us to locate them correctly.

data:

-6 that must be added to a number.

-four times a number that is equal to 4x

-a result that is equal to 50

Now with these data we formulate the equation:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Equation:} \\ 6+4x=50;\text{ } \end{gathered}$

if we solve the equation we have:

$\begin{gathered} 6\text{ }+4x=50 \\ 4x=50-6 \\ 4x=44 \\ x=\frac{44}{4} \\ x=-\frac{22}{2} \\ x=\text{ }-11 \end{gathered}$

Why is there no commutative property for subtraction and division

Bezzdna [24]

There is no commutative property for subtraction and division because order does matter. 6 - 5 will not give you the same answer as 5 - 6.

Find the median of the data in the box plot below.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Median is just the middle number. If you put all the numbers in order from least to greatest:
4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Then you can find the one in the middle. In this case it’s 7.
