71. Solar eclipse. On July 2, 2019, a total solar eclipse was observable over the
South Pacific Ocean and parts of South America. (Source:
eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov.) The path of the eclipse is modeled by
f(t) = 0.00259t² – 0.457t + 36.237,
where f(t) is the latitude in degrees south of the equator at t minutes after the
start of the total eclipse. What is the latitude closest to the equator, in
degrees, at which the total eclipse was visible?
