AP Calculus AB Cha 4 E Determine Net Change Using Definite Integrals in Applied Contexts Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

A student starts reading a book at time t=0 minutes and continues reading for the next 10 minutes. The rate at which the student reads is modeled by the differentiable function R, where R(t) is measured in words per minute. Selected values of R(t) are given in the table shown.

A teacher also starts reading at time t=0 minutes and continues reading for the next 10 minutes. The rate at which the teacher reads is modeled by the function W defined by W(t)=310t2+8t+100W(t)=-\frac{3}{10} t^{2}+8 t+100, where W(t) is measured in words per minute. Based on the model, how many words has the teacher read by the end of the 10 minutes? Show the work that leads to your answer.
