The following figure shows the devastating effect the opening of a new discount department store had on an established department store in a small town. The revenue of the discount store at time t (in months) is given by f(t) million dollars, whereas the revenue of the established department store at time t is given by g(t) million dollars. Answer the following questions by giving the value of t at which the specified event took place.
(a) The revenue of the established department store is decreasing at the slowest rate.
t =
According to a study conducted in 2003, the total number of U.S. jobs that are projected to leave the country by year t, where t = 0 corresponds to 2000, is represented by the following function where N(t) is measured in millions.
N(t) = 0.0018425(t + 8)5.5 (0 t 15)
