By integrating the rate, we will see that waste pumped from t = 0 to t = 8 is A = 24.279
We have the function:
R(t) = 3 + 2*cos(2pi*t/15)
This is the rate at which the waste is removed, then the waste that the station pumps between t = 0 and t = 8 is given by:
[tex]A = \int\limits^8_0 {3 + 2*cos(2pi*t/15)} \, dt[/tex]
That integral gives:
[tex]A = \int\limits^8_0 {3 + 2*cos(2pi*t/15)} \, dt \\\\A = 3*(8 - 0) + 2*(15/2pi)*(sin(2pi*8/15) - sin(2pi*0/15))\\\\\\A = 24.279[/tex]
