Problem

Snow accumulates on a driveway according to the piecewise rate r(t)={2+4t,0≤t≤2,10,t>2,r(t)= \begin{cases} 2+4t, & 0\le t\le 2,\\ 10, & t>2, \end{cases} where r(t)r(t) is measured in centimeters per hour and tt is the number of hours since the snowfall began. Find the total time tt (in hours) required for 50 centimeters of snow to accumulate.
