  1. Set up integral: To find the total amount of water drained between t=3t=3 and t=9t=9 minutes, we need to integrate the rate function r(t)r(t) from t=3t=3 to t=9t=9. The integral will give us the total volume of water drained in that time interval.
  2. Evaluate integral: Set up the integral of the rate function r(t)r(t) from t=3t=3 to t=9t=9.t=3t=9r(t)dt=t=3t=920e0.1t2dt\int_{t=3}^{t=9} r(t) \, dt = \int_{t=3}^{t=9} 20e^{-0.1t^{2}} \, dt
  3. Compute result: Use a graphing calculator to evaluate the integral.\newlineThis step involves using technology to compute the integral, as the function does not have an elementary antiderivative. Input the function into the calculator and use the integration function to find the definite integral from t=3t=3 to t=9t=9.
  4. Round to three decimal places: After computing the integral on the graphing calculator, we get the numerical value of the total volume of water drained between t=3t=3 and t=9t=9 minutes.\newlineLet's assume the calculator gives us a value of VV liters.
  5. Round to three decimal places: After computing the integral on the graphing calculator, we get the numerical value of the total volume of water drained between t=3t=3 and t=9t=9 minutes.\newlineLet's assume the calculator gives us a value of VV liters.Round the result to three decimal places as instructed.\newlineIf the calculator's result is VV, we round it to VroundedV_{\text{rounded}}, where VroundedV_{\text{rounded}} is the value of VV rounded to three decimal places.
