Let’s check out your problem:

Snow is piling on a driveway so its depth is changing at a rate of 
r(t)=10sqrt(1-cos(0.5 t)) centimeters per hour, where 
t is the time in hours, 
0 <= t <= 5. At time 
t=0, the depth of the snow is 20 centimeters.
What is the snow's depth at time 
t=5 hours?
Use a graphing calculator and round your answer to three decimal places.

Q. Snow is piling on a driveway so its depth is changing at a rate of r(t)=101cos(0.5t) r(t)=10 \sqrt{1-\cos (0.5 t)} centimeters per hour, where t t is the time in hours, 0t5 0 \leq t \leq 5 . At time t=0 t=0 , the depth of the snow is 2020 centimeters.\newlineWhat is the snow's depth at time t=5 t=5 hours?\newlineUse a graphing calculator and round your answer to three decimal places.\newlinecentimeters
  1. Set up integral: To find the snow's depth at t=5t=5 hours, we need to integrate the rate of change function r(t)r(t) from t=0t=0 to t=5t=5.
  2. Evaluate integral: Set up the integral of r(t)r(t) from 00 to 55: 05101cos(0.5t)dt\int_{0}^{5} 10\sqrt{1-\cos(0.5t)} \, dt.
  3. Add initial depth: Use a graphing calculator to evaluate the integral: 05101cos(0.5t)dt70.685\int_{0}^{5} 10\sqrt{1-\cos(0.5t)} \, dt \approx 70.685.
  4. Calculate total depth: Add the initial depth of the snow (20cm20\,\text{cm}) to the result of the integral to find the total depth at t=5hourst=5\,\text{hours}: 20cm+70.685cm.20\,\text{cm} + 70.685\,\text{cm}.
  5. Calculate total depth: Add the initial depth of the snow (20cm20\,\text{cm}) to the result of the integral to find the total depth at t=5hourst=5\,\text{hours}: 20cm+70.685cm20\,\text{cm} + 70.685\,\text{cm}.Calculate the total depth: 20cm+70.685cm=90.685cm20\,\text{cm} + 70.685\,\text{cm} = 90.685\,\text{cm}.
