Given function    liters / minute
Since the we have an equation for the rate of oil leakage, we can find the area under the   curve from 0 to 60 minutes to find the total amount leaked. Since the   graph is on a (Liters/minute) vs. (minutes) plane, finding the area under the curve will cause the minutes to cancel, leaving only   (Liters), which is what we want.
So, we can find the area under the    curve by evaluating:
 
Now, we can solve by setting up a simple substitution:
Let   
 
When   and when    then
