Suppose that the rate at which a nuclear power plant produces radioactive waste is proportional to the number of years it has been operating, according to
in pounds per year. Suppose also that the waste decays exponentially at a rate of 6% per year. Then the amount of radioactive waste that will accumulate in b years is given by
