Math Problem Statement

The temperature of water in an urn is increasing at a rate of r(t) = 21e^(−0.4t) degrees Celsius per minute, where t is the time in minutes. At time t = 0 minutes, the temperature of the water is 16 degrees Celsius. (a) Solve the defnite integral ∫ 8 0 r(t) dt to find out how much the temperature increased between t = 0 and t = 8 minutes.
