Question 13

The rate of depletion of a mineral resource, R(t)R(t)R(t) in gigatonnes per decade, is modeled by the formula

R(t)=7t62−53t6+14,t≥1 R(t) = \frac{7t^6}{2} - \frac{5}{3t^6} + \frac{1}{4}, \quad t \ge 1 R(t)=27t6​−3t65​+41​,t≥1

where t t\,t is the number of decades since the start of industrial mining.

Determine the general expression for the total quantity of the resource depleted, ∫R(t) dt\int R(t) \, dt∫R(t)dt, giving each term in its simplest form.
