Answer

The total revenue in the first 4 years is $\$78,000$

Work Step by Step

We can find the total revenue in the first 4 years: $\int_{0}^{4}9000~\sqrt{1+2t}~dt$ We can use substitution: Let $u = 1+2t$ $\frac{du}{dt} = 2$ $dt = \frac{du}{2}$ When $t = 0$, $u = 1$ When $t = 4$, $u = 9$ We can find the total revenue in the first 4 years: $\int_{0}^{4}9000~\sqrt{1+2t}~dt$ $=\int_{1}^{9}4500~\sqrt{u}~du$ $=(\frac{2}{3})(4500)~(u)^{3/2}~\vert_{1}^{9}$ $=(3000)~(9^{3/2}-1^{3/2})$ $=(3000)~(27-1)$ $=(3000)~(26)$ $=78,000$ The total revenue in the first 4 years is $\$78,000$
