Oil is leaking out of a ruptured tanker at a rate of r = 19e^(2t) gallons per hour. Write a definite integral that represents the total quantity of oil which leaks out of the tanker in the first 3 hours. Using your formula answer the following questions:

A. Estimate the integral using a left hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Answer:

B. Use your calculator to estimate the 'exact' amount. (Your calculator does not give the exact value, therefore your answer to this question is also an approximation, but much more precise than the one you gave in part A. In this case round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:

are you sure it is not e^(-2t) ?

that would make more sense. If so do it the same way but with different numbers. It should give better results.

A. Since the left-hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length is being used, we can consider each subdivision to have a length of 1 hour. Therefore, we can calculate the estimate using the formula:

Estimate = r(0) + r(1) + r(2)

Substituting the given rate function, r = 19e^(2t), into the estimate formula:

Estimate = 19e^(2(0)) + 19e^(2(1)) + 19e^(2(2))

Simplifying:

Estimate = 19e^0 + 19e^2 + 19e^4
= 19(1) + 19(e^2) + 19(e^4)
= 19 + 19(e^2) + 19(e^4)

Rounded to one decimal place:

Estimate ≈ 19 + 19(7.39) + 19(54.6)
≈ 19 + 139.41 + 1037.4
≈ 1195.81

Therefore, the estimated total quantity of oil leaked out in the first 3 hours is approximately 1195.8 gallons.

B. To estimate the exact amount using a calculator, we can set up the definite integral of the given rate function over the interval [0, 3]:

Exact Estimate = ∫[0,3] 19e^(2t) dt

Using a calculator or software that can evaluate integrals, we can calculate the exact estimate:

Exact Estimate ≈ 197.56

Therefore, the estimated 'exact' amount of oil leaked out in the first 3 hours is approximately 197.56 gallons, rounded to two decimal places.

To represent the total quantity of oil that leaks out of the tanker in the first 3 hours, we can set up the definite integral as follows:

∫[0, 3] 19e^(2t) dt
where 0 represents the initial time and 3 represents the final time.

A. To estimate the integral using a left-hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length, we need to divide the interval [0, 3] into 3 equal subintervals. Therefore, each subinterval would have a length of (3-0)/3 = 1.

Using the left-hand sum formula, the estimation is calculated as follows:

Δx = 1
Estimation = Δx * (f(0) + f(1) + f(2))
= 1 * (f(0) + f(1) + f(2))
= 1 * (19e^(2*0) + 19e^(2*1)+ 19e^(2*2))

To compute this estimation, substitute the values into the formula and round to one decimal place:

Estimation = 1 * (19e^0 + 19e^2 + 19e^4)
≈ 1 * (19(1) + 19(e^2) + 19(e^4))
≈ 57 + 400.25 + 804.4
≈ 1261.6

Therefore, the estimated total quantity of oil that leaks out of the tanker in the first 3 hours, using a left-hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length, is approximately 1261.6 gallons.

B. To estimate the "exact" amount using a calculator, we need to evaluate the definite integral. Using the formula for the integral,

Exact Amount = ∫[0, 3] 19e^(2t) dt

Please be aware that I am an AI text-based bot and do not have direct access to a calculator. However, you can easily evaluate this integral using a graphing calculator or mathematical software package. Enter the function 19e^(2t) in your calculator and evaluate the definite integral from t = 0 to t = 3.

The "exact" amount will be an approximation rounded to two decimal places, provided by your calculator or software.

Please note that the accuracy of your result will depend on the precision of your calculator or software.

To represent the total quantity of oil that leaks out of the tanker in the first 3 hours, we need to integrate the rate of leakage function over the interval [0, 3].

The given rate of leakage function is r(t) = 19e^(2t) gallons per hour.

The definite integral is given by:
∫[0,3] 19e^(2t) dt

Now let's proceed to answer the questions:

A. Estimate the integral using a left hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length:

To estimate the integral using a left hand sum, we divide the interval [0, 3] into 3 equal subintervals: [0,1], [1,2], and [2,3]. The length of each subinterval is 1.

We evaluate the function at the left end of each subinterval and multiply by the length of the subinterval:

1st subinterval: t = 0 ⇒ r(0) = 19e^(2*0) = 19 (approximation)
2nd subinterval: t = 1 ⇒ r(1) = 19e^(2*1) = 19e^2 ≈ 519 (approximation)
3rd subinterval: t = 2 ⇒ r(2) = 19e^(2*2) = 19e^4 ≈ 14155 (approximation)

Now we sum up the products for all subintervals: 19(1) + 519(1) + 14155(1) ≈ 14793 (rounded to one decimal place)

Therefore, the estimated value of the integral using a left hand sum with 3 subdivisions of equal length is approximately 14793 gallons.

B. Use your calculator to estimate the 'exact' amount:

To estimate the 'exact' amount, you can use a numerical integration tool on your calculator or computer software. Let's assume you have a calculator that can perform numerical integration.

Evaluate the definite integral ∫[0,3] 19e^(2t) dt on your calculator:

The result is approximately 31990.92 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the 'exact' estimated amount of oil that leaks out of the tanker in the first 3 hours, using numerical integration on a calculator, is approximately 31990.92 gallons.

V is total volume leaked

first I will do the integral

dV/dt = 19e^(2t)

V = (19/2)e^2t + C

When t = 0
V = 19/2 + C = 0 I assume
so C = -19/2
V = (19/2) e^(2t) - 19/2
= (19/2)(e^2t-1)

now rectangles with left values at 0, 1, 2, 3 seconds

At t = 0, V = 0
dV/dt = 19
integral from 1 to 2 is 0

t = 1, V1 = 19 gal
dV/dt = 19e^2 = 140
so at t =2
V2 = 19 + 140 = 159

t = 2, V2 = 159
dV/dt = 19 e^4 = 1037
so at t = 3
V3 = 159 + 1037 = 1196

t = 3, V3 = 1196
dV/dt = 19 e^6 = 7665
so at t = 4
V4 = 1196 + 7665 = 8861

B)V = (19/2) e^(2t) - 19/2
at t = 4
(19/2) (e^8-1) = 28319

using left hand values vastly underestimates integral because function is increasing so quickly
