A chemist records the rate of consumption of a reactant at time tt hours by the function R(t)=2t2−3t+4sin⁡tR(t)=2t^{2}-3t+4\sin t (in grams per hour). (i) Write an integral expression for the total amount of reactant consumed from t=0t=0 to t=πt=\pi hours. (ii) Determine an antiderivative F(t)F(t) of R(t)R(t). (iii) Hence calculate the exact total amount of reactant consumed in that time interval.
