A firm estimates that its sales will increase at a rate given by (d/dt)S(t)=10sqrt(t), where t is measured in years. Find the total sales during the second and third years.
 
so d(s)/dt=10*t^(1/2).

Ok so you integrate from 2 to 3 and then you get 20/3*t^(3/2). Then you must put in 3 and 2. So (20/3*(3^(3/2)))-(20/3*(2^(3/2)))
 
dS/dt = 10*sqrt (t)

S = âŒ*[10*sqrt (t)]dt

I will leave the actual integration for you to do. Your limits of integration are from t = 2 to t = 3.

Hope this helps.
