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) = 9,000 - 3t2, where t is measured in hours past midnight. (a) Use the definition of the derivative to find G'(6). G'(6) = (b) Interpret the meaning of G'(6) in the context of this problem. Indicate the units of measure. Between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. exactly G'(6) gallons of oil will leak from the tank. At 6:00 a.m. the oil is leaking from the tank at a rate of G'(6) hours per gallon. At 6:00 a.m. G'(6) gallons of oil are left in the tank. At 6:00 a.m. G'(6) gallons of oil have leaked from the tank. At 6:00 a.m. the oil is leaking from the tank at a rate of G'(6) gallons per hour.
