8. A counter records people entering a fast-food restaurant. The data below shows the number of customers that enter the restaurant for each two-hour period starting at 8:00 am. Estimate the rate at which the customers are entering the store at 5:00 p.m. (t = 9). Use correct units Hours after 8:00 am | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 Number of Customers | 0 | 21 | 42 | 36 | 14 | 58 | 23

The number of customers in a store during the midday hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. can be modeled by this function, where n is the number of customers t hours after 10 a.m. n = 2t^2 - 8t + 15. Rewrite the equation to reveal the minimum number of customers. At what time does that minimum occur?

The average number of customers, c, at a 24-hour sandwich shop per hour is modeled roughly by the equation c(h) = -5cos(Ď€h/12) + 12, with h = 0 representing midnight. How many hours per day are there at least 13 customers per hour, to the nearest hour? What time of the day is peak business?

[T] The number of hamburgers sold at a restaurant throughout the day is given in the following table, with the accompanying graph plotting the best cubic fit to the data, $b(t)=0.12 t^{3}-2.13 t^{3}+12.13 t+3.91, \quad$ with $t=0$ corresponding to 9 a.m. and $t=12$ corresponding to 9 p.m. Compute the average value of $b(t)$ to estimate the average number of hamburgers sold per hour.
