Ice forms on a refrigerator ice-box at the rate of (4 - 06t)g per minute after t minutes. If initially there are 2g of ice in the box, find the mass of ice formed in 5 minutes
A
19.5
B
17.0
C
14.5
D
12.5
correct option: c
\(\frac{dm}{dt}\) = 4 - 0.6t

\(\int\)dm = \(\int\)(4 - 0.6t)dt

m = 4t - 0.3t2 + c, when t = 0, m = 2g

∴ c = 2

m = 4t - 0.3t2 + 2, when t = 5 minutes

m = 4(5) - 0.3(5)2 + 2 = 20 - 7.5

= 14.5
