asked 04/14/23Question is down below. Find the t-value at which the graph of h has a point of inflection.
h(t) = −1/3t^3 + 16t^2 + 33t + 172.35, t ≥ 0, and t ≤ 48.

h(t) = (-1/3)t3 + 16t2 +33t + 172.35
h'(t) = -t2 + 32t + 33
h"(t) = -2t + 32
h"(t) = 0 when t = 16
If 0 < t < 16, h"(t) > 0, so the graph of h(t) is concave up.
If 16 < t < 48, h"(t) < 0, so the graph of h(t) is concave down
Inflection point is (16, h(16))
