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.

Kay [80]

Answer:

27.2mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

Base of this triangle = 8mm

Height = 6.8mm

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 8mm * 6.8mm

       = 4mm * 6.8mm

       = 27.2mm²

A pattern maker uses 526 yards of muslin cloth each month. The cloth comes on bolts, or rolls, that hold 15 yards each.
alex41 [277]

Answer: 35.067 or 36, depending on if you need to round or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for how many bolts the pattern maker needs can be represented as 15x = 526. To find x, divide 526 by 15. 526/15 = 35.067. If you need to, round up to the nearest whole number. 35.067 rounds to 36.

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
oee [108]

Answer:

  • decay
  • 2% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor is the base of the exponent: 0.98. Its relation to the rate of change is ...

  growth factor = 1 + rate of change

  0.98 = 1 + (-0.02)

So, the rate of change is -0.02 = -2%. Since the rate of change is a 2% decrease, it represents decay.
