Please help @hero @perl @iambatman

I found the anti-derivative, but what do I do now?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

put in t = 15 and hence calculate s(15), but this assume s(0) = 0, ie your constant of integration = 0.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I plugged in 15 and got 2625, which is not an answer choice

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

check your integration :p share it here

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

???

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

OK, what do you get for s(t)?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

(2/3)x^3 + x^2 + 10x + C

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

if you follow the question, it should be \[\frac{0.2}{3} x^3\]

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Oh, oops. I see what I did wrong. My calcualtor got 0.066666666666, and I mistook it as 2/3, and not 0.2/3

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

so do you now get the "right" answer?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

approx 600?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

exact 600, surely? get a new calculator :p

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

lol, yeah, exactly 600. The first time I used 0.0666 to calculate

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

well done!
