If it was EACH cat they had 1.25 cups otherwise they all shared the 1/4 cup offered.
Integrate both sides with respect to <em>t</em> :
∫ d<em>y</em>/d<em>t</em> d<em>t</em> = ∫ -12<em>t</em> ² d<em>t</em>
<em>y(t)</em> = -4<em>t</em> ³ + <em>C</em>
Use the initial condition to solve for <em>C</em> :
5 = -4•0³+ <em>C</em>
<em>C</em> = 5
So
<em>y(t)</em> = -4<em>t</em> ³ + 5
and the answer is D.
Alternatively, you can directly apply the fundamental theorem of calculus:



The value would be 28,000*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)
which is 28,000*0,9275

which equals 28,000*0.6863=$19,219
direct proportion y=kx , k is constant and k does not equal to 0.
17.5=k(21)
k=5/6
when x =39
y=5/6 ×39
y=32.5
