Question 744266: Can someone please help me with this integral calculus problem?
An oil storage tank ruptures at time t = 0 and oil leaks from the tank at a rate of r(t) = 120^e−0.01(t)liters per minute. How much oil leaks out during the first hour? (Round your answer to the nearest liter.)

An oil storage tank ruptures at time t = 0 and oil leaks from the tank at a rate of r(t) = 120^e−0.01(t)liters per minute. How much oil leaks out during the first hour? (Round your answer to the nearest liter.)
------------
r(t) = 120e^-0.01t, t in minutes
R(t) = -12000e^-0.01t
Vol = R(60) - R(0)
= -6585.74 + 12000
=~ 5414 liters
