Q. Consider the following problem:\newlineThe total number of subscribers Zhang Wei has for his video page is changing at a rate of r(t)=212t r(t)=21-2 t subscribers per week (where t t is the time in weeks). At time t=8 t=8 weeks, Zhang Wei has 120120 subscribers. How many subscribers does Zhang Wei have by week 2020 ?\newlineWhich expression can we use to solve the problem?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) r(20)r(8)+120 r(20)-r(8)+120 \newline(B) 820r(t)dt+120 \int_{8}^{20} r(t) d t+120 \newline(C) r(20) r(20) \newline(D) 2020r(t)dt \int_{20}^{20} r(t) d t
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe are given a rate of change of subscribers r(t)=212tr(t) = 21 - 2t and the number of subscribers at t=8t = 8 weeks, which is 120120. We need to find the total number of subscribers at t=20t = 20 weeks.
  2. Determine approach: Determine the correct approach to solve the problem.\newlineTo find the total number of subscribers at t=20t = 20 weeks, we need to integrate the rate of change from t=8t = 8 to t=20t = 20 and add the initial number of subscribers at t=8t = 8 weeks.
  3. Identify expression: Identify the correct expression to use.\newlineThe correct expression to use is the integral of the rate of change from t=8t = 8 to t=20t = 20, plus the initial number of subscribers at t=8t = 8 weeks. This corresponds to choice (B) 820r(t)dt+120\int_{8}^{20} r(t) \, dt + 120.
  4. Calculate integral: Calculate the integral of the rate function from t=8t = 8 to t=20t = 20. We need to integrate r(t)=212tr(t) = 21 - 2t from t=8t = 8 to t=20t = 20. 820(212t)dt=[21tt2]820\int_{8}^{20} (21 - 2t) \, dt = [21t - t^2]_{8}^{20} = (21(20)202)(21(8)82)(21(20) - 20^2) - (21(8) - 8^2) = (420400)(16864)(420 - 400) - (168 - 64) = 2010420 - 104 = 84-84
