Question

A student develops an engine that is believed to meet all state standards
for emission control. The new engine’s rate of emission is given by E(t)=2t2
where E(t) is the emissions, in billions of pollution particulates per year, at time t, in years. The emission rate of a conventional engine is given by
C (t) = 9 + t2

i. At what point in time will the emission rates be the same?
ii. What reduction in emissions results from using the student’s engine?
