of Mexico Oil Spill (also referred to as the BP Oil Disaster)

Integrals_Engineering.pdf - 100% + Focus on Calculus in Engineering The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill (also referred to as the BP Oil Disaster) in 2010 is considered one of the largest offshore oil spills in history. Massive amounts of oil leaked from an underwater blowout at a depth of 5000 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil leaked from the underwater well at a rate of R(t) millions of gallons / day. Values of the rate were estimated at daily intervals (see Table below). 3 5 6 7 (day) R(t) 4.4 4.3 4.1 3.9 4.2 3.8 3.4 (gallons/day) (1) Find lower and upper estimates for the total volume of oil leaked out during the first week. (2) How does this Focus on Calculus apply to Calculus
