c. Determine a definite integral whose value tells us exactly the number of minutes
required for the airplane to ascend to 10,000 feet of altitude. Clearly explain why
the value of this integral has the required meaning.
d. Determine a formula for a function M(h) whose value tells us the exact number
of minutes required for the airplane to ascend to h feet of altitude.
e. Estimate the values of M(6000) and M(10000) as accurately as you can. Include
units on your results.
