Question 10

A tank is being filled with water at a rate of $$r(t) = 10 - t$$ liters per minute. How much water is added to the tank in the first 8 minutes?

Accepted Answer

$$\int_{0}^{8} (10 - t) \, dt = [10t - \frac{t^2$}{2}]_0^8$ = 80 - 32 = 48$$

Question 11

Accepted Answer

The existence of the definite integral is guaranteed by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Question 13

A chemical reaction rate is modeled by $$r(t) = 2t^2$. How much reactant is consumed between t=1$ and t=4$?

Accepted Answer

$$\int_{1}^{4} 2t^2$ \, dt = [\frac{2}{3}t^3$]_1^4$ = \frac{2}{3}(64 - 1) = \frac{2}{3} 	imes 63 = 42$$
