Suppose h(t) represents the average height, in feet, of a person who is t years old.
(a) In real-world terms, what does h(12) represent and what are its units? What does h' (12) represent, and what are its units?
(b) Is h(12) positive or negative, and why? Is h'(12) positive or negative, and why?
(c) At approximately what value of t would h(t) have a maximum, and why? At approximately what value of t would h' (t) have a maximum, and why?
