Based on a preliminary report by a geological survey team, it is estimated that a newly discovered oil field can be expected to produce oil at the rate of R(t) = 800t2 t3 + 32 + 5 (0 ≤ t ≤ 20) thousand barrels/year, t years after production begins. Find the amount of oil that the field can be expected to yield during the first 3 years of production, assuming that the projection holds true.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
