Answer 3

To quote one of our very good math and science tutors: "You will find here at Jiskha that long series of questions, posted with no evidence of effort or thought by the person posting, will not be answered. We will gladly respond to your future questions in which your thoughts are included."

Answer 4

Derivative of t ^ 3 = 3 * t ^ 2

Derivative of t ^ 2 = 2 * t

Derivative of 38.005 = 0

dG / dt = - 0.046 * 3 * t ^ 2 + 0.915 * 2 t + 0 = - 0.138 * t ^ 2 + 1.83 * t

When t = 4

then :

dG / dt = - 0.138 * 4 ^ 2 + 1.83 * 4

dG / dt = - 0.138 * 16 + 7 . 32

dG / dt = - 2.208 + 7.32

dG / dt = 5.112

Rounded to the nearest point per hour :

dG / dt = 5 points per hour
