Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find out how much water the tank holds two hours later, we need to integrate the rate function from to (since two hours is 120 minutes).
Step 1: Integrate the rate function
This can be split into two separate integrals:
The first integral:
Evaluated from 0 to 120:
The second integral:
Evaluated from 0 to 120:
Since is extremely small, .
Step 2: Subtract the integrated values from the initial amount
The total water pumped out is liters.
The tank originally had 800 liters, so the amount remaining is:
Therefore, the tank holds approximately 225 liters of water two hours after the pump starts. The answer is:
225 Liters
