Let P be the total petroleum reservoir on Earth in the year t . (In other words, P represents the total quantity of petroleum, including what’s not yet discovered, on Earth at time t .) Assume that no new petroleum is being made and that P is measured in barrels. What are the units of dP ∕ dt ? What is the meaning of dP ∕ dt ? What is its sign? How would you set about estimating this derivative in practice? What would you need to know to make such an estimate?

Determine whether the lines
L₁ (t) = (-2,3, −1)t + (0,2,-3) and
L2 p(s) = (2, −3, 1)s + (-10, 17, -8)
intersect. If they do, find the point of intersection.
Convert the line given by the parametric equations y(t)
Enter the symmetric equations in alphabetic order.
