An oil field is estimated to produce oil at a rate of $R(t)$ thousand barrels per month $t$ months from now, as given by $$R(t)=10 t e^{-0.1 t}$$ Use an appropriate definite integral to find the total production (to the nearest thousand barrels) in the first year of operation.

An oil well is expected to produce oil at the rate of R'(t) = 40e^{-0.05t}, 0 ≤ t ≤ 48, measured in thousand of barrels per month, where t is the number of months that the well has been in operation. Find the total output over the first 2 years. Leave your answer in exact form.

Maximum Oil Production It has been estimated that the total production of oil from a certain oil well is given by $$ T(t)=-1000(t+10) e^{-0.1 t}+10,000 $$ thousand barrels $t$ years after production has begun. Determine the year when the oil well will be producing at maximum capacity.

Let $r(t)$ be the rate at which the world's oil is consumed, where $t$ is measured in years starting at $t=0$ on January $1,2000,$ and $r(t)$ is measured in barrels per year. What does $\int_{0}^{8} r(t) d t$ represent?
