Mathematica Mathematica:How to solve the summation of numerical integration

[shafieza_garl]

From the attachment. i would like to know how to find (t_1 and t_2)minimum if given t_0=0 and t_3=5.It seem like when using excel solver to find the minimum.anyone know how to do it with mathematica?

In my experience with MMA trying to use subscripts is often more trouble than it is worth.

What I would do is

t0 = 0; t3 = 5; NMinimize[{
Integrate[0.25`(E^(-0.015`*t)*(-4044.4444444444443`*E^(-0.015`*t1) + E^(0.015`*t)*(4044.4444444444443` - 66.6666666666667`*t) + 66.6666666666667`*E^(0.015`*t1)*t1))^2, {t, t0, t1}] +
Integrate[0.25`(E^(-0.015`*t)*(-4044.4444444444443`*E^(-0.015`*t2) + E^(0.015`*t)*(4044.4444444444443` - 66.6666666666667`*t) + 66.6666666666667`*E^(0.015`*t2)*t1))^2, {t, t1, t2}] +
Integrate[0.25`(E^(-0.015`*t)*(-4044.4444444444443`*E^(-0.015`*t3) + E^(0.015`*t)*(4044.4444444444443` - 66.6666666666667`*t) + 66.6666666666667`*E^(0.015`*t3)*t1))^2,{t, t2, t3}],
t0 <= t1 && t1 <= t2 && t2 <= t3}, {t1, t2}]

and it gives you an answer in a few seconds.

thanks for da help.it really help me.but is there any other way to solve when n become a large number.like we change 3 into 10 and we want to find t1 until t9.
