Problem

Water flows into and out of a reservoir at a rate r(t)r(t) (in liters per minute) for t>0t>0. The volume of water in the reservoir at time tt is R(t)=∫0tr(s) dsR(t)=\int_{0}^{t} r(s)\,ds. Suppose r(t)>0r(t)>0 for 0<t<60<t<6, r(t)<0r(t)<0 for 6<t<96<t<9, and r(t)>0r(t)>0 for t>9t>9. Which of the following best describes the behavior of RR? a) RR increases on (0,6)(0,6), increases on (6,9)(6,9), and increases on (9,∞)(9,\infty). b) RR increases on (0,6)(0,6), increases on (6,9)(6,9), and decreases on (9,∞)(9,\infty). c) RR increases on (0,6)(0,6), decreases on (6,9)(6,9), and increases on (9,∞)(9,\infty). d) RR increases on (0,6)(0,6), decreases on (6,9)(6,9), and decreases on (9,∞)(9,\infty).
