An oil company is planning to extract oil from one of its fields, starting today at t=0, where t is time measured in years. It has a choice between two extraction profiles f and g giving the instantaneous flow of oil per year. Both extraction profiles last for 10 years, with f(t) = 10t2 - t3 and g(t) = t3 - 20t2 + 100t for t in [0,10]. The company sells oil at a price per unit by p(t) = 1 + 1 / (t+1). Total revenue is given by ∫010 p(t)f(t) dt and ∫010 p(t)g(t)dt respectively. Compute these integrals. Which of the extraction profiles should be chosen?

An oil company is planning to extract oil from one of its fields, starting today at t=0, where t is time measured in years. It has a choice between two extraction profiles f and g giving the instantaneous flow of oil per year. Both extraction profiles last for 10 years,
with f(t) = 10t2 - t3 and g(t) = t3 - 20t2 + 100t for t in [0,10]. The company sells oil at a price per unit by p(t) = 1 + 1 / (t+1). Total revenue is given by 010 p(t)f(t) dt and 010 p(t)g(t)dt respectively. Compute these integrals. Which of the extraction profiles should be chosen?

Follow-up Question

where did the (t-1)/(t^2-1^2) come from. and why did you split the integrals and not just do one from 0 to 10?
