Question: 5 . ( 1 0 points ) ( * ) In an experiment the total number of cars that pass a position x 0 after

5.(10 points)(*) In an experiment the total number of cars that pass a position x0 after t =0 is
recorded and the points have been smoothed over into a continuous function that approximates
this data, M (x0, t) for t 0. Using M , find an expression for q(x0, t) in two ways:
(a) Derivative: From the definition of flow in the notes consider the number of cars that pass
x0 from t to t +t. Write this out using M defined above and take the limit as t 0.
(b) Integral: Write M (the number of cars) using the integral of flow then use the Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus.
