Find the net displacement and total distance traveled in meters given the velocity function f ( t ) = 1 2 e t −2 over the interval [0, 2].

Applying the Net Change Theorem The net change theorem can be applied to the flow and consumption of fluids, as shown in Example 5.26 . Example 5.26 How Many Gallons of Gasoline Are Consumed? If the motor on a motorboat is started at t =0 and the boat consumes gasoline at 5− t 3 gal/hr for the first hour, how much gasoline is used in the first hour? Solution Express the problem as a definite integral, integrate, and evaluate using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The limits of integration are the endpoints of the interval [0, 1]. We have ∫ 0 1 ⎛ ⎝ 5− t 3 ⎞ ⎠ dt = ⎛ ⎝ 5 t − t 4 4 ⎞ ⎠ | 0 1 = ⎡ ⎣ 5(1)− (1) 4 4 ⎤ ⎦ −0
