The per capita consumption of breakfast cereal in the US has the following model that appears above
C( t ) = 0.0032t3+0.095t20.344t+12.5\displaystyle -{0.0032}{t}^{{3}}+{0.095}{t}^{{2}}-{0.344}{t}+{12.5} pounds, where t is the number of years since 1990.
Decide whether the rate of consumption was changing more rapidly in 2005 or 2009.
C(15)\displaystyle {C}'{\left({15}\right)} =   lbs/year
C(19)\displaystyle {C}'{\left({19}\right)} =   lbs/year
The rate was changing more rapidly in .
