Hence, the graph is shown above.
b.
Estimate the age of the tree when it is growing most rapidly.
b.
Answer to Problem 98E
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
By observing the graph of the function, we can conclude that the tree grows most rapidly when this was at the age of
Hence, the tree grows most rapidly at the age of
