home owner installs a solar heating system, which is expected to generate savings at the rate of 200e^0.1t dollars per year, where t is the number of years since the system was installed. If the system costs $1500, find a formula for the total savings in the first t years. Hint: Be careful about representing a cost of $1500 when the function measures savings.
