Q. A water tank is drained. The following function gives the volume, in liters, of the water remaining in the tank t t minutes after the drain is opened:\newlineV(t)=3000(10.05t)2 V(t)=3000(1-0.05 t)^{2} \newlineWhat is the instantaneous rate of change of the volume after 1010 minutes?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 150-150 liters per minute\newline(B) 150-150 minutes per liter\newline(C) 750750 liters per minute\newline(D) 750750 minutes per liter
  1. Differentiate V(t)V(t): To find the instantaneous rate of change, we need to differentiate the volume function V(t)V(t) with respect to time tt.
  2. Apply chain rule: Differentiate V(t)=3000(10.05t)2V(t) = 3000(1 - 0.05t)^{2} using the chain rule.dVdt=3000×2(10.05t)21×0.05\frac{dV}{dt} = 3000 \times 2(1 - 0.05t)^{2-1} \times -0.05
  3. Simplify the derivative: Simplify the derivative. dVdt=300×(10.05t)\frac{dV}{dt} = -300 \times (1 - 0.05t)
