Question

In a West Texas school district the school year began on August 1 and lasted until May 31. On August 1 a Soft Drink company installed soda machines in the school cafeteria. It found that after t months the machines generated income at a rate of f(t) = 300t/2t2 + 8 dollars per month. Find the total income, $Tscc, produced during the second semester beginning on January 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

$95.78

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = 300t / (2t² + 8)

t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of August.  t = 1 corresponds to the end of August.  t = 2 corresponds to the end of September.  So on and so forth.  So the second semester is from t = 5 to t = 10.

$T₂ = ∫₅¹⁰ 300t / (2t² + 8) dt

$T₂ = ∫₅¹⁰ 150t / (t² + 4) dt

$T₂ = 75 ∫₅¹⁰ 2t / (t² + 4) dt

$T₂ = 75 ln(t² + 4) |₅¹⁰

$T₂ = 75 ln(104) − 75 ln(29)

$T₂ ≈ 95.78
