Answer:

≈ 38.89%

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost is:

6.25 - 1.75 = 4.50

Percentage gain:

Type a digit that makes this statement true. 5,091,71 is divisible by 8. Submit

worty [1.4K]

The right answer is "2"
the divisiveness rule says that the number which it's last two digit is divisible to 4 and 2 is divisible to 8 so if you add another digit you have to make it divisible to 4 and 2 which in this case is number "2"

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:

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

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

Hence, the amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly
