Question 127497: This problem is not from my textbook it is a worksheet problem.
The instantaneous growth rate of a population is the rate at which it is growing at every instant in time. The instantaneous growth rate r of a colony of bacteria t hours after the start of an experiment is given by the function r=0.01t3-0.03t2+0.08 for 0 is less than or equal to t less than or equal to 7. Find the times for which the instantaneous growth rate is zero.
The answer choices are
2 sec and 4 sec
1 sec, 2 sec, and 4 sec

------------
0.01t^3-0.03t^2+0.08 = 0
