Let R(t) represent the rate at which water is leaking out of a tank, where t is measured in hours. What expression represents the total amount of water that leaks out in the first three hours?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where is the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sounds like related rates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, we can begin by writing this: dV/dt = R(t), as the function represents the differential amount of time, or the rate at which the time is changing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* rate at which the volume is changing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, since dt can be rearragned in the equation, if i am not mistaken, and we can now write our previouse rate as: dV = R(t)*dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I think it's either C or D, but I'm not sure about the prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50/50, i would pick C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

call it a hunch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. Kind of makes sense because if dV is R(t) dt, then it would just be that on the interval 0 to 3, I guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right
