Water enters the reservoir both from the Rapid River and from rainfall. The dam operators can control the flow of water out of the reservoir

Water enters the reservoir both from the Rapid River and from rainfall. The dam operators can control the flow of water out of the reservoir through the dam, in order to handle water needs for the town. You spend ten days monitoring the volume of water in Ready Reservoir, starting at noon on July 1st. Reservoir water volume is often measured using units of thousands of acre-feet (kaf). One kaf is the amount of water that would cover 1 acre of land if the water were 1 ft deep, or roughly the amount of water in a medium-sized swimming pool.

The function r(t) is the rate, in kaf per day, at which water enters the reservoir t days after you start monitoring. This rate includes the water from both the Rapid River and rainfall.

The function s(t) is the rate, in kaf per day, at which water leaves the reservoir by flowing through the dam t days after you start monitoring.

You can assume that r(t) and s(t) give a complete description of all water entering and leaving the lake. When you start monitoring, there are 5,000 kaf of water in the reservoir. The graph below depicts r(t) as the solid black graph and s(t) as the red dashed graph. Notice that each segment of r(t) and of s(t) is linear.
