A company incurs debt at a rate of

D′(t) = 90(t + 6)√t2 + 12t

dollars per year, where t is the amount of time (in years) since the company began. By the
fourth year the company had accumulated $16,260 in debt .

a) Determine a function that can model the total amount of debt as a function of time

 
∫ 90(t + 6)√t2 + 12t
 
 
90 ∫(t + 6)√t2 + 12t
 
u = t2 + 12t
du = 2t + 12
du = 2(t + 6)
du
2 = (t + 6)

 
2 √u dt
90 ∫ du
 
 
90 ∫ du 1/2
2 u  dt
 
 
45 ∫ u1/2  dt
 
3/2
45 u3/2 = 45(2/3)(u3/2) = 30(u)3/2  
30(t + 12t)3/2
2

90 √t +12t)
( 2 3
= 30(t2 + 12t) 2
3

3
3
= 30(t2 + 12t) 2 + C
3
30(42 + 12(4)) 2 + C = 16260

C = 900
3
D(t) = 30(t2 + 12t) 2 + 900

b) How much total debt did the company have by the 6th year
3
D(6) = 30(62 + 12(6)) 2 + 900
3
D(6) = 30(36 + 72) 2 + 900

The company will have a debt of $34,571.06 by the 6th year.
