Answer:

A. R = -18t + 1,820

B. 1,568 billions of barrels

C. approximately 101.11 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To make our equation, we'll use the form R = mt + b. M represents how many billion barrels of oil are being lost each year, which we know is 18 billion. So -18 will be our m. B is how many total barrels of oil there are, which is 1,820. So 1,820 will be our b. Now the equation looks like this:

R = -18t + 1,820

We can use this equation to answer Part B.

Replace the t with 14:

R = -18(14) + 1,820

Now solve for R:

R = -18(14) + 1,820

R = -252 + 1,820

R = 1,568

14 years from now, there will be 1,568 billions of barrels left.

To solve part C, we need to find how many years it will take for all of the oil to be used up. After it's all used up, the total amount of oil will be 0, so we can replace R with 0 and then solve for t:

0 = -18t + 1,820

Subtract 1,820 from both sides to isolate -18t:

0 - 1,820 = -18t + 1,820 - 1,820

-1,820 = -18t

Divide both sides by -18 to isolate the t:

-1,820/-18 = -18t/-18

101.11 = t

After approximately 101.11 years, all of the oil will be used up.

Arc length is the angle/360 times circumference. The diameter of the unit circle is 2. So the circumference of the unit circle is 2pi, if you use 3.14 for pi, then the circumference is 6.28. So your equation is
x/360 times 6.28=4.2, divide by 6.28, then multiply by 360
x=240.76432
Your answer rounded to the nearest thousanth is 240.764
