<p>Go to the FRQ section, question 1a.</p>

<p>Notice that it askes “How many gallons of sewage ENTER the…”. Now when I finished the sentence, and I saw the interval, I was really tempted to integrate this, but when I read it really carefully, it asks for the rate it “ENTERS”, not “INSIDE”</p>

<p>If a question like this is on the AP Exam you think this is arguable?</p>

<p>Also, shouldn’t they subtract 645??</p>

<p>Ah, this question is straightforward to me. And yes, I did integrate it and got 3981.02 gallons as the answer.</p>

<p>No, you cannot subtract 645 because it’s a rate at t=0, not the amount of gallons at t=0.</p>
