If a completely full 5-gallon water jug is drained through a spigot, the depth is given by the formula below where t is the time, in minutes, that the spigot is open and D is the depth, in inches, above the spigot. D = 0.265t2 − 4.055t + 15.5 When will the water jug be completely drained? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
