Answer

$$ \left( f(x)=20t, \quad T =6, \quad 4\% \text{ per yr. } \right) $$ the accumulated amount of money flow at time $T$ is $$ \begin{aligned} A & =20 e^{0.24} \int_{0}^{6} t e^{-0.04 t} d t \\ & \approx 390.614379 \end{aligned} $$ So, the accumulated amount of money flow at time $T=6$ is $\approx 390.614.$

Work Step by Step

$$ \left( f(x)=20t, \quad T =6, \quad 4\% \text{ per yr. } \right) $$ If $f(t)$ is the rate of money flow at an interest rate $r$ at time $t$, the accumulated amount of money flow at time $T$ is $$ A=e^{rT}\int_{0}^{T} f(x) e^{-rt}dt. $$ If $f(t)=20t $ is the rate of continuous money flow at an interest rate $r=0.4$ for $T=6$ years, then the accumulated amount of money flow at time $T=6$ is $$ \begin{aligned} A &=e^{rT}\int_{0}^{T} f(x) e^{-rt}dt\\ &=e^{0.04(6)} \int_{0}^{6} 20 t e^{-0.044 t} d t \\ &=20 e^{0.24} \int_{0}^{6} t e^{-0.04 t} d t \end{aligned} $$ First, we evaluate the indefinite integral as follows: $$ \int_{0}^{6} t e^{-0.04 t} d t $$ use integration by parts with $$ \quad\quad\quad \left[\begin{array}{c}{u=t, \quad\quad dv= e^{-0.04 t} d t } \\ {d u= dt, \quad\quad v=\frac{1}{-0.04} e^{-0.08 t} }\end{array}\right] , $$ $$ \begin{aligned} \int t e^{-0.044 t} d t &=-25 t e^{-0.04 t}-\int\left(-25 e^{-0.04 t}\right) d t \\ &=-25 t e^{-0.04 t}-625 e^{-0.04 t}+C \end{aligned} $$ Now we will evaluate the definite integral as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} A & =20 e^{0.24} \int_{0}^{6} t e^{-0.04 t} d t \\ &=\left.20 e^{0.24}\left(-25 t e^{-0.04 t}-625 e^{-0.04 t}\right)\right|_{0} ^{6}\\ &=20 e^{0.24}\left[\left(-150 t e^{-0.24}-625 e^{-0.24}\right)-(0-625)\right]\\ &=20\left(625 e^{0.24}-775\right)\\ & \approx 390.614379 \end{aligned} $$ So, the accumulated amount of money flow at time $T=6$ is $\approx 390.614.$
