Suppose that r(t) = r0 * e^(-kt) with k > 0, is the rate at which a nation extracts oil where r0=10^7 barrels/year is the current rate of extraction. Suppose also that the estimate of the total oil reserve is 2*10^9 barrels. a. Find Q(t), the total amount of oil extracted by the nation after t years. b. Evaluate lim(t->infinity)Q(t) and explain the meaning of this limit. c. Find the minimum decay constant k for which the total oil reserves will last forever. d. Suppose r0=2*10^7 barrels/yr and the decay constant k is the minimum value found in part c. How long will the total oil reserves last?

step-by-step explanation:

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

d. it is a convex pentagon because it has five sides and none of the sides would extend into the inside of the polygon.

step-by-step explanation:

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
