Given information
The given expression is liters / minute
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
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
