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 answer is C

\(\frac{dm}{dt}\) = 4 - 0.6t

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

m = \(4t - 0.3t^2 + c\), when t = 0, m = 2g

∴ c = 2

m = \(4t - 0.3t^2 + 2\), when t = 5 minutes

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

= 14.5
