question a company models its income, in thousands of dollars, using the continuous stream f(t)=20e^(-0.025t)+(t/12), where t is measured in months. what is the total income produced in the second year? give your answer in thousands of dollars to the nearest thousand dollars. when giving your answer, use numbers only. do not include the dollar symbol, commas, or any symbols to denote thousands. provide your answer below: $□ thousand feedback more instruction submit
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Determine the limits of integration
The second - year corresponds to (t) values from (t = 12) to (t=24) months. The total income (I) from a continuous income stream (f(t)) over the interval ([a,b]) is given by (I=\int_{a}^{b}f(t)dt). Here, (a = 12), (b = 24), and (f(t)=20e^{- 0.025t}+\frac{t}{12}).
Step2: Split the integral
We use the property (\int_{a}^{b}(g(t)+h(t))dt=\int_{a}^{b}g(t)dt+\int_{a}^{b}h(t)dt). So, (\int_{12}^{24}(20e^{-0.025t}+\frac{t}{12})dt=\int_{12}^{24}20e^{-0.025t}dt+\int_{12}^{24}\frac{t}{12}dt).
Step3: Integrate the first integral
For (\int_{12}^{24}20e^{-0.025t}dt), let (u=-0.025t), then (du=-0.025dt) and (dt =-\frac{1}{0.025}du). When (t = 12), (u=-0.025\times12=-0.3); when (t = 24), (u=-0.025\times24 = - 0.6). (\int_{12}^{24}20e^{-0.025t}dt=20\int_{-0.3}^{-0.6}e^{u}\left(-\frac{1}{0.025}\right)du=- \frac{20}{0.025}\int_{-0.3}^{-0.6}e^{u}du=-800\left[e^{u}\right]_{-0.3}^{-0.6}=-800(e^{-0.6}-e^{-0.3})).
Step4: Integrate the second integral
For (\int_{12}^{24}\frac{t}{12}dt=\frac{1}{12}\int_{12}^{24}t\ dt). Using the power - rule (\int t^n dt=\frac{t^{n + 1}}{n+1}+C) ((n\neq - 1)), we have (\frac{1}{12}\left[\frac{t^{2}}{2}\right]{12}^{24}=\frac{1}{24}(t^{2})\big|{12}^{24}=\frac{1}{24}(24^{2}-12^{2})=\frac{1}{24}(576 - 144)=\frac{432}{24}=18).
Step5: Calculate the total value
(-800(e^{-0.6}-e^{-0.3})+18). (e^{-0.6}\approx0.5488), (e^{-0.3}\approx0.7408). (-800(0.5488 - 0.7408)+18=-800\times(-0.192)+18 = 153.6+18=171.6\approx172).
