A graphing calculator is recommended. A 60-gallon barrel is filled completely with pure water. Salt water with a concentration of 0.3 lb/gal is then pumped into the barrel, and the resulting mixture overflows at the same rate. The amount of salt in the barrel at time t is given by Q(t) 18(1e-0.02t) where t is measured minutes and Q(t) is measured in pounds. (a) How much salt is in the barrel after 2 min? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
