The depth of the ocean crust can be approximated by the equation:
d=2500+350*t^1/2, where d=depth in meters, and t=age in millions of
years

what is the question lol

The depth of the ocean crust can be approximated by the equation:
d=2500+350*t^1/2, where d=depth in meters, and t=age in millions of
years. How old would the crust be if it were 5000 m deep? How deep
would the crust be if it were new (zero years?

ok thankss

\[t=((d-2500)/350)^2\]
\[t \approx 51\] MegaYears

step by step ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1. substract 2500 from both sides of the equation
2. devide 350 on both sides of the equation
3. square both sides of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4. plug in your value of t = 5000
5. get an approximative answer of 51 MY
