OpenStudy (korosh23):

I know how to solve everything except part d.

OpenStudy (korosh23):

I believe we have to solve like this 24000= the equation I do not know how to do it algebrically

OpenStudy (alekos):

just make the function p(t) = 24,000 and solve for t

OpenStudy (korosh23):

I do not know how to solve it algebraically.

OpenStudy (alekos):

we could try using desmos?

OpenStudy (korosh23):

ok

OpenStudy (alekos):

this is a quartic function, so very hard to solve algebraically

OpenStudy (alekos):

have you used desmos?

OpenStudy (korosh23):

yes

OpenStudy (korosh23):

I have it now, let me send you the link. https://www.desmos.com/calculator x^4-20x^3-20x^2+1500x+15000 plug in this

OpenStudy (alekos):

no plug in x^4 - 20t^3-20t^2+1500t-9000

OpenStudy (alekos):

then look at the x value where it crosses the axis

OpenStudy (korosh23):

18.03 :) that is the answer. We know for sure -ve time does not exist. Thank you
