Q. Water is drained out of a tank at a rate of r(t)=20e−0,1t2 liters per minute, where t is the time in minutes, 0≤t≤10.How much water is drained between times t=3 and t=9 minutes? Use a graphing calculator and round your answer to three decimal places._____liters
Understand and Set Up: Understand the problem and set up the integral.We need to calculate the total amount of water drained from the tank between t=3 and t=9 minutes. The rate of water being drained is given by the function r(t)=20e−0.1t2. To find the total amount of water drained, we need to integrate this rate function from t=3 to t=9.
Set Up Integral: Set up the definite integral for the given rate function between the limits of integration. The integral we need to solve is ∫t=3t=920e−0.1t2dt.
Evaluate Integral: Use a graphing calculator to evaluate the integral.Since the integral involves an exponential function with a squared term in the exponent, it does not have an elementary antiderivative. Therefore, we will use a graphing calculator to evaluate the integral numerically.
Calculate Integral: Enter the function and limits into the graphing calculator and calculate the integral.After entering the function 20e(−0.1t2) into the graphing calculator and setting the limits from t=3 to t=9, the calculator will provide the numerical value of the integral.
Round Result: Round the result to three decimal places as instructed.Assuming the graphing calculator gave us a result, we would round this result to three decimal places to get our final answer.
