snow began falling at 6 AM (t=0). the depth (inches) of snow on the ground at a cetrtain location at time t (hours) was given by the function d(t)=11t-12t^2+6.2t^3-1.58t^4+0.2t^5-0.01t^6. A) Sketch the graph of the function using a calculator.  B) Approximately, after how many hours did the depth reach a maximum and what was the maximum depth?  C) for what approximate times was the snow depth at least 9 inches? D) at what approximate time did the depth reach zero?  Round answers to one decimal place.
