Please help with Calculus Word Problem

[Bluewolf1986]

I need help solving this problem: An oil tank is leaking and the formula for it's volume with respect to time (measured in hours) is given by the formula V(t)=2(10-t)^5/2. What is the average rate of change of the oil leak during the first 5 hours?

Hello, and welcome to FMH!

Using the calculus, we may write:

[MATH]\frac{1}{5-0}\int_0^5 \frac{dV}{dt}\,dt=\frac{V(5)-V(0)}{5}=?[/MATH]

I got it. Thank you!
