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.
World production of crude oil uses up oil reserves. Estimated world oil reserves in 2009 were 1300 billion barrels. If average world production is x barrels per day, what equation describes how many days the 2009 oil reserves will last? What equation describes how many years the 2009 oil reserves will last? Be sure to define all variables used that are not already defined.
