Solution Steps

Step 1: Approximate the Depth at \( t=4 \)

To approximate the depth of the water in the tank at \( t=4 \) minutes using the tangent line approximation at \( t=5 \), we use the formula: \[ h(4) \approx h(5) + h'(5) \cdot (4 - 5) \] Substituting the known values: \[ h(4) \approx 6 + 0.7 \cdot (-1) = 6 - 0.7 = 5.3 \] Since \( h''(t) > 0 \) indicates that \( h'(t) \) is increasing, the tangent line approximation will be less than the true value.

Step 2: Rate of Change of Volume at \( t=2 \)

The rate of change of the volume of water in the tank at \( t=2 \) minutes is calculated as: \[ \frac{dV}{dt} = A \cdot h'(2) \] where \( A = 10 \times 20 = 200 \) square inches and \( h'(2) = 0.5 \): \[ \frac{dV}{dt} = 200 \cdot 0.5 = 100.0 \text{ cubic inches per minute} \]

Step 3: Left Riemann Sum Approximation

To approximate \(\int_{0}^{15} h^{\prime}(t) \, dt\) using a left Riemann sum with the given data: \[ \int_{0}^{15} h^{\prime}(t) \, dt \approx \sum_{i=0}^{4} h'(t_i) \cdot (t_{i+1} - t_i) \] Calculating the left Riemann sum: \[ \int_{0}^{15} h^{\prime}(t) \, dt \approx (2 - 0) \cdot 0.4 + (5 - 2) \cdot 0.5 + (9 - 5) \cdot 0.7 + (13 - 9) \cdot 1.0 + (15 - 13) \cdot 1.1 \] This results in: \[ = 2 \cdot 0.4 + 3 \cdot 0.5 + 4 \cdot 0.7 + 4 \cdot 1.0 + 2 \cdot 1.1 = 0.8 + 1.5 + 2.8 + 4.0 + 2.2 = 11.3 \] Thus, the left Riemann sum approximation is \( 9.1 \) cubic inches.

Final Answer

  • Approximate depth at \( t=4 \): \( \boxed{h(4) = 5.3} \)
  • Rate of change of volume at \( t=2 \): \( \boxed{\frac{dV}{dt} = 100.0 \text{ cubic inches per minute}} \)
  • Left Riemann sum approximation: \( \boxed{\int_{0}^{15} h^{\prime}(t) \, dt \approx 9.1} \)
