The population of a certain state (in thousands) from 1990 (t = 0) to 2000 (t = 10) is modeled by the polynomial p(t) = -0.29t² + 100t+7681. a. Determine the average growth rate from 1990 to 2000. b. What was the growth rate for this state in 1994 (t = 4) and 2000 (t = 10)? c. Use a graphing utility to graph p' for 0 st≤ 10. What does this graph tell you about population growth in this state during the period of time from 1990 to 2000?
