11 The daily world production of oil can be modelled using $$V = 10 + 100 \left( \frac { t } { 30 } \right) ^ { 3 } - 50 \left( \frac { t } { 30 } \right) ^ { 4 }$$ where \(V\) is volume of oil in millions of barrels, and \(t\) is time in years since 1 January 1980. 11
    1. The model is used to predict the time, \(T\), when oil production will fall to zero.
      Show that \(T\) satisfies the equation $$T = \sqrt [ 3 ] { 60 T ^ { 2 } + \frac { 162000 } { T } }$$ 11
  1. (ii) Use the iterative formula \(T _ { n + 1 } = \sqrt [ 3 ] { 60 T _ { n } { } ^ { 2 } + \frac { 162000 } { T _ { n } } }\), with \(T _ { 0 } = 38\), to find the values of \(T _ { 1 } , T _ { 2 }\), and \(T _ { 3 }\), giving your answers to three decimal places.

  2. (iii) Explain the relevance of using \(T _ { 0 } = 38\) 11
  3. From 1 January 1980 the daily use of oil by one technologically developing country can be modelled as $$V = 4.5 \times 1.063 ^ { t }$$ Use the models to show that the country's use of oil and the world production of oil will be equal during the year 2029.
