Q. Water is leaking out of a container at a rate of −50(t−10) milliliters per hour (where t is the number of hours).How many milliliters of water leak out of the container between t=0 and t=2 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 100(B) 400(C) 500(D) 900
Understand the rate: Understand the rate of water leakage.The rate of water leakage is given by the function −50(t−10) milliliters per hour. This means that the rate of leakage depends on the time t, and the negative sign indicates that water is leaking out of the container.
Calculate total leakage: Calculate the total leakage between t=0 and t=2. To find the total amount of water leaked, we need to integrate the rate of leakage from t=0 to t=2. The integral of the rate function will give us the total volume leaked over that time period.
Set up integral: Set up the integral for the leakage from t=0 to t=2. The integral of the rate function −50(t−10) from t=0 to t=2 is: ∫02−50(t−10)dt
Calculate integral: Calculate the integral.∫02−50(t−10)dt=[−50×(21×t2−10t)] from 0 to 2= [−25t^2 + 500t] from 0 to 2
Evaluate at bounds: Evaluate the integral at the upper and lower bounds.First, evaluate at t=2:−25(22)+500(2)=−25(4)+1000=−100+1000=900Then, evaluate at t=0:−25(02)+500(0)=0
Find total leakage: Find the difference between the upper and lower evaluations to get the total leakage.Total leakage = 900−0=900 milliliters
