Oil is leaking from a tank. For 0 ≤ t ≤ 24, the number of gallons G in the tank at time t is given by G(t) = 6,000 - 5t2, where t is measured in hours past midnight. (a) Use the definition of the derivative to find G'(9). G'(9) = (b) Interpret the meaning of G'(9) in the context of this problem. Indicate the units of measure. At 9:00 a.m. the oil is leaking from the tank at a rate of G'(9) gallons per hour. At 9:00 a.m. the oil is leaking from the tank at a rate of G'(9) hours per gallon. At 9:00 a.m. G'(9) gallons of oil have leaked from the tank. Between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. exactly G'(9) gallons of oil will leak from the tank. At 9:00 a.m. G'(9) gallons of oil are left in the tank.
