Q: A company issues debt at a rate of $$D'(t) = 1000 + 0.01t^2$ (dollars per year), where t$ is the number of years since the company was founded. How much debt has the company issued after 5 years?

$$5000 + 0.01 \times \frac{125}{3} = 5000 + 0.4167 \approx 5000.42$$

Q: A company’s cost function is $$C'(t) = 200 + 5t$$ dollars per year. What is the total cost incurred over the first 4 years?

$$200 \times 4 + 5 \times \frac{4^2$}{2} = 800 + 40 = 840$$
