The yearly Egyptian production of oil O(t) in millions of barrels, t years after 2000 can be approximated by,
\n" ); document.write( "O(t)=-40.4t+2159
\n" ); document.write( "Using inequality, determine the years for which the production will drop below 1750 million barrels.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "-40.4t + 2159 < 1750
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "-40.4t < -409
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "t > 10.124\r
