Question: ( 9 points ) Nevada State operates a septic tank sitting atop the Dawson building. The rate of sewage released from the tank at time

(9 points) Nevada State operates a septic tank sitting atop the Dawson building. The rate of sewage released from the tank at time t is modeled by the function
R(t)=-2+5t
Suppose the supply of fresh sewage pumped into the septic tank is modeled by the function
S(t)=15t1+3t
At t=0, the Dawson tank holds 1000 gallons of sewage.
(a) Write the definite integral measuring the total amount of sewage removed from the tank over the period 0t6. You do not need to evaluate the integral.
(b) Write the expression for Y(x), the total sewage level in the tank at time x using the second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
(c) What is the instantaneous rate of change of sewage in the septic tank at x=4?
(d) When does the amount of sewage in the septic tank hit its minimum? Fully justify your answer.
(e) What is the long-term projection of the amount of sewage in the septic tank? Is the septic tank a sustainable solution for the campus of Nevada State?
