It has been determined that the number of fish f(t) that can be caught in t minutes in a certain pond using a certain bait is f(
t) = .25t + 1, for t > 10. Find the number of fish that can be caught if you fish for 15 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

We have that
we know that
Is the equation of a vertical parabola open down
so
the vertex is a maximum
step 1
convert the equation of the parabola in the vertex form
the vertex (h,k) is the point (0,36)
Part a) The point on the graph where the height of the tunnel is a maximum is (0,36)
Part b) The points on the graph where the height of the tunnel is zero feet is when y=0
so
for y=0
the points are (-6,0) and (6,0)
see the attached figure
