The function rv gives the rate of change of the volume of oil expelled per day by a rig that begins leaking at day t=0. The function r gives the approximate rate function with moments of duration 0.3 days for 0≤ t ≤1.5. We use the rates at the left endpoint of each moment to define the constant rate for that moment.
