Question 58

The rate of fuel consumption RRR of a prototype engine, in litres per hour, is modelled by the equation

R(t)=244t+tt R(t) = \frac{24}{4t + t\sqrt{t}} R(t)=4t+tt​24​

where t≥1t \ge 1t≥1 is the time in hours since the engine was started. Use algebraic integration and the substitution u=tu = \sqrt{t}u=t​ to find the total fuel consumed between t=4t = 4t=4 and t=16t = 16t=16 hours. Write your answer in the form 12ln⁡(ab)12 \ln \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)12ln(ba​), where aaa and bbb are integers to be found. (Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.)
