Suppose that the world's current oil reserves is R = 2060 billion barrels. If, on average, the total reserves is decreasing by 15 billion barrels of oil each year, answer the following: A.) Give a linear equation for the total remaining oil reserves, R, in terms of t, the number of years since now. (Be sure to use the correct variable and Preview before you submit.) R= B.) 8 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.)

If the annual rate of world oil consumption t years after 1970 is modeledby the equation R(t) = 16.1e^.07t (billions of barrels per year), how much total oil (net change) was used between 1976 and 1980?
Assume that a country, in year 5, has a population level, P, of 14 380 individuals. The country's population has been growing at a constant yearly rate of 2.4%. a) Find the country's initial population size, assuming that we are dealing with discrete time. Then, determine the initial population size assuming continuous time. (You must show all your work!) Are the two initial population sizes similar? Why or why not? b) Now, assume that g is actually 5% and that the initial population level was, in fact, 10,000. Using the Rule of 70, graph the population growth on a ratio scale for the time periods, t = 0, 7, 14, and 28. Label your graph.

In 2018, U.S. output was $20.5 trillion, and Chinese output in 2017was $13 5 trillion Suppose that from 2017, the output of China grows at an annual rate of 7.9% per year, whereas the output of the United States grows from 2018 at an annual rate of 2.2% per year. Using these assumptions and a spreadsheet, calculate and plot U.S. and Chinese output from 2017 or 2018 over the next 25years. The level of U.S. output in 25 years will be $ 35.32 trillion. (Round your response to two decimal places.) The level of Chinese output in 25 years will be $ 90.38 trillion. (Round your response to fwo decimal places) How many years will it take for China to have a total level of output equal to that of the United States?

onsider an imaginary economy that has been growing at a rate of 3% per year. Government economists have proposed a number of policies to increase the growth rate but first need to convince the president that the policies will pay off. To do so, they want to present a comparison of the number of years it will take for the economy to double, depending on the growth rate. Using the rule of 70, determine the number of years it will take the economy to double at each growth rate. Growth Rate Years Required to Double (Percent) (Nearest whole number of years) 3 4 5

Assume the carrying capacity of the earth is 9 billion. Use the 1960s peak annual growth rate of 2.1% and population of 3 billion to predict the base growth rate and current growth rate with a logistic model. Assume a current population of 6.8 billion. How does the predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2% per year?
