t = 14 min
M = −0.001 * t ^ 3 + 0.1 * t ^ 2
M = −0.001 * 14 ^ 3 + 0.1 * 14 ^ 2
M = −0.001 * 2744 + 0.1 * 196
M = - 2.744 + 19.6
M = 16.856 words
Participants in a psychology experiment were able to memorize an average of M words in t minutes, where M = −0.001t3 + 0.1t2. Use the following graph.Estimate the number of words memorized after 14 min.
