Answer

$-3$

Work Step by Step

Suppose that $G$ is an antiderivative of $g$ so: $$G'(t)=g(t)$$ Usin the $FTC$ it follows: $$\int_{9}^{16}g(t)dt=G(16)-G(9)$$ $$\int_{9}^{16}G'(t)dt=G(16)-G(9)$$ $$\int_{9}^{16}t^{-\frac{1}{2}}dt=G(16)-G(9)$$ $$[2t^{\frac{1}{2}}]_{9}^{16}=G(16)-G(9)$$ $$2\cdot 16^{\frac{1}{2}}-2\cdot 9^{\frac{1}{2}}=G(16)-G(9)$$ $$2\cdot 16^{\frac{1}{2}}-2\cdot 9^{\frac{1}{2}}=G(16)-(-5)$$ $$2\cdot 4-2\cdot 3=G(16)+5$$ $$2\cdot 4-2\cdot 3-5=G(16)$$ $$8-6-5=G(16)$$ $$-3=G(16)$$
