To be honest, this is a homework problem, but must be an easy one for some of you. I want to get an A in this class, so every point I can grab is important :)
So if you could check and see if my answer is right or wrong, I'd appreciate it :)

The questions is:

Let f(t) represent the rate of change of the concentration of oxygen in pond water after t hours, where f(t) is given in mmol/L per hour. What is the meaning of the following?

Intg(f(t)dt)=-0.015

Integral Limits: 0 < t < 5

My answer:

Concentration of oxygen in pond water decreased 0.015 mmol/L between 0 and 5 hours?

Am I correct or wrong?

Probably and easy question but oh well, I am not good with Math :)

Thanks!
