Answer

$$0.36 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{yr}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$W(t)=\left(0.14+0.115 t-0.002 t^{2}+0.000023 t^{3}\right)^{3.4}$$ Since $$W'(t)= 3.4\left(0.14+0.115 t-0.002 t^{2}+0.000023 t^{3}\right)^{2.4}\left(0.115-0.004 t+0.000069 t^{2}\right) $$ Then \begin{align*} W'(10)&= 3.4\left(0.14+0.115(10)-0.002 (10)^{2}+0.000023 (10)^{3}\right)^{2.4}\left(0.115-0.004 (10)+0.000069 (10)^{2}\right)\\ &\approx 0.36 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{yr} \end{align*}
