12. The rate of change of the accumulated amount of blood, B(t) (in hundred cm3 per month),
500
stored in a hospital can be modelled by B ( t )= 2 (0≤t≤6 ) , where t is the time
√ t +25
in months since 1st January of the year.

(a) Use the trapezoid rule with 3 sub-intervals to estimate the accumulated amount of
blood stored in the hospital for the first 6 months of the year. (Give your answer
correct to 4 significant figures.) (2 marks)

(b) Find B ' ' ( t ) and hence state whether the result of (a) is an over-estimate or an
under-estimate. (6 marks)

(c) The hospital will start a blood donation promotion in July if the total blood used in
the first half year is greater than the accumulated amount of blood stored in the
hospital. It is known that the rate of the total consumption of blood C(t) (in hundred
1

cm3 per month) obeys the equation C ( t )=10 t (2+t ) 3 , where t is the number of
months since 1st January of the year.
