Question 363575: I would love help solving this polynomial question.
The polynomial function I (t) = -0.1T^2+2T represent the yearly income or loss from a real estate investment, where t is time in years. After how many years does income begin to decline? Round to the nearest tenth of a year if neccessary.

Hi,
Re: Annual Income = I(t) = -0.1t^2+2t where t is time in years
I(t) = -.1t(t - 20)
I(0) = 0 & I(20) = O
I(t) = -0.1t^2+2t (note: negative coefficient of the squared term)
graph of this parabola opens downward, with a maximum at 10years (0+20)/2
After 10 years, the income begins to decline.
