The amount of trash, in tons per year, produced by a town has been growing linearly, and is projected to continue growing according to the formula P(t) = 75 + 2t. Estimate the total trash that will be produced over the next 10 years by interpreting the integral as an area under the curve. tons

The amount of trash, in tons per year, produced by a town has been growing linearly, and is projected to continue growing according to the formula P(t) = 76 + 5t. Estimate the total trash that will be produced over the next 8 years by interpreting the integral as an area under the curve. Answer = tons (Round to two decimal places)

The sanitary landfill charges companies $200 per load and individuals $50 per load. On average, 90 companies tip their trucks each day at the landfill with a standard deviation of 30. There is time only for 120 deliveries in any combination of companies and individuals throughout the course of an eight-hour day. Company dump trucks enter through Gate A and individuals enter through Gate B. Individual demand is plentiful — often there are individuals turned away due to lack of capacity. It costs the landfill $30 to process a company dump truck and $15 to process an individual load. What is the expected profit for one day if the landfill allocates the optimal quantity of capacity to company trucks and individuals fill up the remainder of the capacity?
