Answer

$M(t)=0.8t^{4}-6t^{2}+10t+1$

Work Step by Step

$M(t) $ is an antiderivative of the given instaneous rate of change $m(t).$ $M(t)=\displaystyle \int(3.2t^{3}-12t+10)dt=3.2\cdot\frac{t^{4}}{4}-12\cdot\frac{t^{2}}{2}+10t+C$ $M(t)=0.8t^{4}-6t^{2}+10t+C,$ which is a collection of functions. To find the exact function, we find $C.$ The start of the year 2005 is $t=0$ years after 2005. We are given $M(0)=1\qquad $million members. $1=0.8($0$)-6(0)+10(0)+C$ $C=1$ Thus, $M(t)=0.8t^{4}-6t^{2}+10t+1$
