Water is draining from a large tank. After $t$ minutes, there are $160,000-8000 t+t^{2}$ gallons of water in the tank. (a) Use the results of Exercise 22 to find the average rate at which the water runs out in the interval from 10 to 10.1 minutes. (b) Do the same for the interval from 10 to 10.01 minutes. (c) Estimate the rate at which the water runs out after exactly 10 minutes.

A valve in a full 6000 gallon water tank is slowly opening. Water flows out of the tank through the valve. The flow rate in gallons per hour is given by the function f(t) = 300t^2 where t is in minutes. (a) How much water flows out of the tank in the first 4 minutes? gallons (b) How many minutes does it take for the tank to empty completely? minutes
