A botanist is studying the growth rate of a particular species of bamboo. They have determined that the rate of growth, $r(t)$, in meters per day, can be modeled by the function $r(t) = rac{3t}{t^2 + 1}$, where $t$ is the number of days since the beginning of the observation period.
a. Find the total growth of the bamboo from $t = 0$ to $t = 5$ days. Give your answer correct to three decimal places.

Extend introductory study of functions, algebra, calculus. Focus on functions, relations, graphs, algebra, and applications of derivatives.
Covers limits, continuity, differentiability, differentiation, and anti-differentiation.
anti-differentiation by recognition that $F^{\prime}(x)=f(x)$ implies $\int f(x) d x=F(x)+c$ and informal treatment of the fundamental theorem of calculus, $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x=F(b)-F(a)$
