Question

5. Let y(t) be the reserves of oil left in an oil pool at time t. Suppose that extraction reduces reserves at a constant rate equal to alpha. (The rate of decline of reserves is alpha.) If initial reserves at t = 0 were 500 million barrels, solve for the expression showing reserves as a function of time.

Step 1

We are given that the reserves of oil, denoted as \(y(t)\), decrease at a constant rate of \(\delta\) over time \(t\). The initial reserves at time \(t = 0\) are 500 million barrels. We need to find an expression for \(y(t)\), the reserves of oil left at any time Show more…
