For some constants A and B, the rate of production, R(t), of oil in a few oil well is modeled by: R(t)=A+Be−tsin(2πt) where t is the time in years, A is the equilibrium rate, and B is the variability coefficient. To find the total amount of oil produced in the first N years of operation, I just integrate the who formula right?

yeah you would integrate from 0 to N

hey

dan815 · Answer

yes integrate because the area under the graph = r(t) * t = ammount of oil
