2. The amount of water in a tank is given by a twice-differentiable function G, where G(t) is
measured in gallons and t is measured in hours. Selected values of G(t) are given in the table
below.

t 0 2 7 10
(hours)
G(t) 1 3 8 16
(gallons)

a. Use the data in the table to estimate G (4) . Interpret the result in the context of the
problem (including units).

b. Use a right Riemann sum with three subintervals from the data table to approximate the
average amount of water in the tank over the time interval 0  t  10 .

c. Explain why there must be at least one time t, in the interval 0  t  10 , such that
G(t )  1.5 .
