QUESTION 11 Sales Analysis. A company's total sales (in millions of dollars) $t$ months from now are given by $S(t) = 0.023t^4 + 0.12t^3 + 2.4t^2 + 6t - 3$ a) Find $S'(t)$ $S'(t) =$ b) Find $S(4)$ and $S'(4)$ to two decimal places and write a brief verbal interpretation of these results. $S(4) =$ $S'(4) =$ Interpretation of the results: QUESTION 12 Sales Analysis. A company's total sales (in millions of dollars) $t$ months from now are given by $S(t) = \sqrt{t} + 7$. Find and interpret $S'(24)$. $S'(24) =$ Interpretation: Round to three decimal places.

Step 1
023t^4 + 0.12t^3 + 2.4t^2 + 6t - 3$. Using the power rule, we get: $S'(t) = 4(0.023)t^3 + 3(0.12)t^2 + 2(2.4)t + 6$ $S'(t) = 0.092t^3 + 0.36t^2 + 4.8t + 6$ Show more…

A company's total sales (in millions of dollars) $t$ months from now are given by $$ S(t)=2 \sqrt{t+6} $$ (A) Use the four-step process to find $S^{\prime}(t)$ (B) Find $S(10)$ and $S^{\prime}(10)$. Write a brief verbal interpretation of these results. (C) Use the results in part (B) to estimate the total sales after 11 months and after 12 months.
