According to the peak oil theory, first proposed in 1956 by geophysicist $M .$ Hubbert, the total amount of crude oil $Q(t)$ produced worldwide up to time $t$ has a graph like that in Figure $16 .$ (a) Sketch the derivative $Q^{\prime}(t)$ for $1900 \leq t \leq 2150 .$ What does $Q^{\prime}(t)$ represent? (b) In which year (approximately) does $Q^{\prime}(t)$ take on its maximum value? (c) What is $L=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} Q(t) ?$ And what is its interpretation? (d) What is the value of $\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} Q^{\prime}(t) ?$
