Problem 91

A college language class was chosen for a learning experiment. Using a list of 50 words, the experiment measured the rate of vocabulary memorization at different times during a continuous 5 -hour study session. The average rate of learning for the entire class was inversely proportional to the time spent studying and was given approximately by
$$ V^{\prime}(t)=\frac{15}{t} \quad 1 \leq t \leq 5 $$ Find the area between the graph of $V^{\prime}$ and the $t$ axis over the interval $[2,4],$ and interpret the results.
