Crude Oil Prices The price per barrel of crude oil in constant 2008 dollars can be approximated by
Where t is time in years since the start of 1980.48
a. What, in constant 2008 dollars, was the average rate of change of the price of oil from the start
b. Your answer to part (a) is quite small. Can you conclude that the price of oil hardly changed all over the 25-year period 1981-2006? Explain.

- Car A starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 60ft/s. Afterwards it maintains the speed. Also, when t = 0, car B located 6000 ft down the road is traveling towards A at a constant speed of 80 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by Car A when they pass each other.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle moves along the x-axis and is given by the equation ds/dt = 40 - 3t^2 m/s.
