Answer to Question #31125 in Algebra for madu

Question

As Alberta's reserves of light crude oil began to deplete,so did the production. Alberta's light crude oil production totaled 37.3 million cubic metres from 1997-2005
This production has continued to decline each year from 1990 and only 21.7 million cubic metres were produced in 2005
use the above scenario to define a sequence or a series to predict possible initial production in year 1990 and the trends in the use or production of the resource over 1990-2005 year period.
Hence,predict the production of year 1990.
Assume that the production of light crude oil declines at the rate of 30% of its total production of the previous year from 1990. Define a sequence or a series to predict possible initial production in year 1990.
