Suppose that the world's current oil reserves is R = 1820 billion barrels. If, on average, the total reserves
is decreasing by 18 billion barrels of oil each year, answer the following:
A.) Give a linear equation for the total remaining oil reserves, R, in billions of barrels, in terms of t, the
number of years since now. (Be sure to use the correct variable and Preview before you submit.)
R
B.) 14 years from now, the total oil reserves will be
billions of barrels.
C.) If no other oil is deposited into the reserves, the world's oil reserves will be completely depleted (all
used up) approximately
years from now.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

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.

The linear equation c = 0.1998s + 76.4520 models the number of calories, c, in a beef hot dog as a function of the amount of sodium s, in milligrams, in the hot dog. What is the slope, and what does it mean in this context?

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the linear equation is 0.1998, and it means that the calories in a beef hot dog is increasing with the rate of 0.1998 calories per milligram of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y = mx + b, we know that m represents the slope.Looking at the equation of c = 0.1998s + 76.4520, our m is equal to 0.1998.This slope means that the rate is increasing by 0.1998 calories for every milligram of sodium.

Rosalita ran 1.85 miles yesterday, and m miles fewer today.

Rosalita ran m miles yesterday, and 1.85 miles farther today.

Answers

Answer:

Rosalita ran m miles yesterday, and 1.85 miles fewer today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression m - 1.85 is used to find how many miles Rosalita ran today. If she ran 1.85 miles less than yesterday, m, to find today's miles you would subtract 1.85 from m, which the expression does. The only scenario that makes sense is that Rosalita ran m miles yesterday and ran 1.85 fewer miles today.

A line passes through the point (-2,3) and has a slope of 5/2
Write an equation in SLOPE-INTERCEPT form for this line.

Answers

Answer:

y = 5/2x + b

3= 5/2(-2) + b

3= -5 + b

3 + 5 = b

b = 8

y = 5/2x + 8

The equation in slope-intercept form is y= 5/2x + 8.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope

Given:

Slope = 5/2

and, point (-2, 3).

Using Slope- intercept form

y = mx + b

y= 5/2x + b

As, the line passes through (-2, 3)

3 = 5/2(-2) + b

3 = -5 + b

b= 8

So, the Equation of line is y= 5/2x + 8.

If the equation that s to the one we are solving we must turn its slope into it's negative reciprocal, which would go from 3/2 to -2/3

Now let's substitute and solve

Ramon drove 425 miles on 15 1/2 of gas. How many miles per gallon did he drive?

Answers

Answer: If half a gallon is 15 then just multiply 15 with 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

He drove 27[tex]\frac{13}{31}[/tex] miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

15[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gas = 425 miles

[tex]\frac{31}{2}[/tex] gas = 425 miles

31 gas = 425 × 2

          = 850 miles

1 gallon = 850 miles ÷ 31

1 gallon = 27[tex]\frac{13}{31}[/tex] miles

There are 7 girls in a bus. Each has 7 backpacks. In each backpack, there are 7 big cats. For every big cat, there are 7 little cats. How many legs are there in the bus?

Answers

Answer:

10,990 legs

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 girls in the bus

= 7 × 2 = 14 legs

Each bag pack there are 7 big cats

= 7 × 7 × 7 × 4= 1372 legs

For every big cats there are 7 small cars

= 7×7×7×7×4= 9,604 cats

Therefore the total legs in the bus can be calculated as follows

= 14 +1372+9604

= 10,990 legs

Hence there are 10,990 legs in the bus

Find the measures of the sides of triangle JKL, then classify it by its sides J(-3, 2), K(2,6), L(8, -1)







Answers

Given:

The vertices of the triangle JKL are J(-3, 2), K(2,6), L(8, -1).

To find:

The measures of the sides of triangle JKL and classify it by its sides.

Solution:

Distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using distance formula, we get

[tex]JK=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^2+(6-2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]JK=\sqrt{(2+3)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]JK=\sqrt{(5)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]JK=\sqrt{25+16}[/tex]

[tex]JK=\sqrt{41}[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]KL=\sqrt{\left(8-2\right)^2+\left(-1-6\right)^2}=\sqrt{85}[/tex]

[tex]JL=\sqrt{\left(8-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(-1-2\right)^2}=\sqrt{130}[/tex]

Now,

[tex]JK^2+KL^2=(\sqrt{41})^2+(\sqrt{85})^2[/tex]

[tex]JK^2+KL^2=41+85[/tex]

[tex]JK^2+KL^2=126[/tex]

[tex]JK^2+KL^2\neq JL^2[/tex]

Since, measure of all sides are different and sum of squares of two smaller sides is not equal to the square of largest side, therefore the triangle is scalene triangle.

Mrs. Nevin is making a costume for a school play. She needs a piece of fabric that is greater than 1/2 of a yard but less than 5/8 of a yard. Which length of fabric listed below could she use? 3/8 yard 4/7 yard 3/7 yard 2/4 yard thx so much you guys are underrated

Answers

Answer:

4/7 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Required fabric is > 1/2 but < 5/8

Let required fabric = x

Then ;

Converting the fractions to decimal :

1/2 = 0.5 ; 5/8 = 0.625

0.5 < x < 0.625

3/8 yards = 0.375 ;

4/7 yards = 0.571

3/7 yards = 0.429

2/4 yards = 0.5

0.5 < 0.571 < 0.625

From the options, only 4/7 yards satisfies the condition :

Zoe and Josiah are both selling cookie dough for a fundraiser. Although Zoe has already sold 12 tubs, Josiah hasn't sold any yet. If Zoe starts selling 2 tubs per day and Josiah begins selling 4 tubs per day, they will eventually sell the same amount of cookie dough.

Answers

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Zoe

Sold out = 12

Rate = 2 daily

Josiah

Sold out = 0

Rate = 4 daily

Required

Determine when they sell the same number of tubs

Represent days with d

The number of tubs sold in any give day can be calculated using:

Tubs = Sold out + Rate * Number of days

For Zoe:

Expression: 12 + 2 * d

Expression: 12 + 2d

For Josiah

Expression: 0 + 4 * d

Expression: 4 * d

Expression: 4d

Next, we equate both expressions to get the number of days

4d = 12 + 2d

Collect like terms

4d - 2d = 12

2d = 12

Solve for d

d = 12/2

d = 6

Hence, it'll take 6 days

"My Escape from Slavery"by Frederick DouglassMy free life began on the third of September, 1838. On the morning of the fourth of that month, after an anxious and most perilous but safe journey, I found myself in the big city of New York, a FREE MANone more added to the mighty throng which, like the confused waves of the troubled sea, surged to and fro between the lofty walls of Broadway. Though dazzled with the wonders which met me on every hand, my thoughts could not be much withdrawn from my strange situation. For the moment, the dreams of my youth and the hopes of my manhood were completely fulfilled. The bonds that had held me to "old master" were broken. No man now had a right to call me his slave or assert mastery over me. I was in the rough and tumble of an outdoor world, to take my chance with the rest of its busy number.I have often been asked how I felt when first I found myself on free soil. There is scarcely anything in my experience about which I could not give a more satisfactory answer. A new world had opened upon me. If life is more than breath and the "quick round of blood," I lived more in that one day than in a year of my slave life. It was a time of joyous excitement which words can but tamely describe. In a letter written to a friend soon after reaching New York, I said: "I felt as one might feel upon escape from a den of hungry lions." Anguish and grief, like darkness and rain, may be depicted; but gladness and joy, like the rainbow, defy the skill of pen or pencil. During ten or fifteen years I had been, as it were, dragging a heavy chain which no strength of mine could break; I was not only a slave, but a slave for life. I might become a husband, a father, an aged man, but through all, from birth to death, from the cradle to the grave, I had felt myself doomed. All efforts I had previously made to secure my freedom had not only failed, but had seemed only to rivet my fetters (fasten my chains) the more firmly, and to render my escape more difficult. Baffled, entangled, and discouraged, I had at times asked myself the question, "May not my condition after all be God's work, and ordered for a wise purpose, and if so, is not submission my duty?" A contest had in fact been going on in my mind for a long time, between the clear consciousness of right and the plausible (reasonable) make-shifts of theology and superstition. The one held me an abject (hopeless) slavea prisoner for life, punished for some transgression in which I had no lot nor part; and the other counseled me to manly endeavor to secure my freedom. This contest was now ended; my chains were broken, and the victory brought me unspeakable joy.When you answer the question, be sure to answer it in the following format (APE):A: Answer the question directlyP: Prove your answer with a quote from the passageE: Explain how the proof (quotes) support your answerHow does the historical setting of the work affect the main character's actions and emotions?
