Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were 2 million barrels of oil in the well; six years later 1,000,000 barrels remain.

(a) At what rate was the amount of oil in the well decreasing when there were 1,200,000 barrels remaining?
rate = barrels/year

(b) When will there be 100,000 barrels remaining?
