Total world consumption of iron was approximately 900 million tons in 1993. If consumption had increased by 2.5% each year and t

he resources available for mining in 1993 were 450 billion tons, how much longer would the world’s iron resources have lasted?

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the annual consumption of iron by the equation

c = 900 million tons x 1.025^n, where

n is the number of years after 1993 and

c is the consumption for that year.

An estimate for the total consumption of iron can now be obtained by integrating this equation with respect to a dummy variable, x from 0 to n.

C = 900*10^6* \int\limits^n_0 {1.025^x} \, dx

This equation simplifies to

C = 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025), where

x is a dummy variable and

C is the total consumption of iron n years after 1993.

Let R be the amount of iron remaining at n years after 1993, so

R = 480 billion tons - C

R = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

We need to find the value of n when R is 0, so

0 = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

Simplify this equation to obtain

n = 107.4

So the iron will run out in the year 1993 + 107 = 2100

An online camping gear company ships two camping tents to a customer. Each tent weighs 6 lb 10 oz,. What is their combined weigh
dezoksy [38]
<em>The answer is 13 pounds (lbs.) and 4 ounces (oz.). There are 2 tents and each is 6 pounds. Add those together and that is 12 pounds. All that is left is to add the ounces. 10+10=20. Since there are only 16 ounces in a pound and we have 20 ounces, we add an extra pound and are left with 4 ounces. </em>

Pythagorean states:

hypotenuse^2 = side1^2 + side2^2

30^2 = 18^2 + side2^2

side2^2 = 30^2 - 18^2

side2^2 = 900 - 324

side2^2 = 576

side2 = sqr root 576

side2 = 24
