Answer

$s(t)=-10t^{2}+40t+1300$ ${{\$}} 1330\quad $(billion)

Work Step by Step

Since $v(t)$ is the derivative of $s(t)$= percentage at time t, $s(t)=\displaystyle \int(-20t+40)dt$ $=-20\displaystyle \cdot\frac{t^{2}}{2}+40t+D$ $=-10t^{2}+40t+D$ Given that at $t=0,$ outstanding debt was about ${{\$}} 1300$ billion, we have: $\quad s(0)=1300$ and, we find D: $\left[\begin{array}{l} 1300=0+0+D\\ D=1300 \end{array}\right]$ Thus, $s(t)=-10t^{2}+40t+1300$ Evaluating at the start of 2009 $(t=1)$ $s(1)=-10(1)+40(1)+1300={{\$}} 1330\quad $(billion)
