The daily discharge of the Spokane River as it flows through Spokane, Washington, in April and June

Question:

The daily discharge of the Spokane River as it flows through Spokane, Washington, in April and June is modeled by the functions

r1(t) = 0.25t2 + 37.46t + 722.47 (April) and
r2(t) = 0.90t2 - 69.06t + 2053.12 (June),

where the discharge is measured in millions of cubic feet per day and t = 1 corresponds to the first day of the month (see figure).

r,(t) = 0.90f? – 69.06t + 2053.12 2000 1500 - 1000 - r¡(t) = 0.25t2 + 37.46t + 722.47 500 - + 10 + 15 + 0 - 5 25


a. Determine the total amount of water that flows through Spokane in April (30 days).

b. Determine the total amount of water that flows through Spokane in June (30 days).

c. The Spokane River flows out of Lake Coeur d’Alene, which contains approximately 0.67 mi3 of water. Determine the percentage of Lake Coeur d’Alene’s volume that flows through Spokane in April and June.
