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.
Find the t-value at which the graph of h has a point of inflection.

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))

The point of inflection is when the second derivative is zero. Can you find the second derivative? Once you do that, set it to zero and solve for t.04/14/23
