Q. Consider the following problem:The water level under a bridge is changing at a rate of r(t)=40sin(6πt) centimeters per hour (where t is the time in hours). At time t=3, the water level is 91 centimeters. By how much does the water level change during the 4th hour?Which expression can we use to solve the problem?Choose 1 answer:(A) ∫34r(t)dt(B) ∫04r(t)dt(C) ∫45r(t)dt(D) ∫44r(t)dt
Integrate rate of change: To find the change in water level during the 4th hour, we need to integrate the rate of change function, r(t), from the start of the 4th hour to the end of the 4th hour.
Identify time interval: The 4th hour starts at t=3 and ends at t=4. Therefore, we need to evaluate the integral of r(t) from 3 to 4.
Evaluate integral expression: The correct expression to use for solving the problem is the integral of r(t) from 3 to 4, which is option (A) ∫34r(t)dt.
