You can put this solution on YOUR website!
D(t)= -t^2+10t
\n" ); document.write( "If this is put in the form
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%28t%29+=+at%5E2+%2B+bt+%2B+c\", the the maximum is at (\"-b%2F%282a%29\",\"D\")
\n" ); document.write( "b = +10
\n" ); document.write( "a = -1
\n" ); document.write( "-b/(2a) = -10/-2
\n" ); document.write( "-10/-2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "D(5) = -(5)^2 + 10*5
\n" ); document.write( "D(5) = -25 + 50
\n" ); document.write( "D(5) = 25
\n" ); document.write( "so, the maximum is at (5,25)
\n" ); document.write( "He fishes at a depth of 25 in 5 hours. Is D in units of feet?
\n" ); document.write( "Problem didn't say.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
