Consider the function g(t) =+ + 9t. (a) Find the critical points of g(t). (b) Use the Second Derivative Test to identify whether each critical point results in a local maximum, local minimum, or neither. Give the ordered pair(s) at which each local maximum/local minimum is located and label each one as a local maximum/local minimum (whichever is appropriate). If a critical point does not result in a local maximum/minimum, say so.

Decay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.
