Solve the problem. -A team of engineers is testing an experimental high-voltage fuel cell with a potential application as an emergency back-up power supply in cell phone transmission towers. Unfortunately, the voltage of the prototype cell drops with time according to the equation V(t)=0.0306t3+0.373t22.16t+15.1\mathrm { V } ( \mathrm { t } ) = - 0.0306 \mathrm { t } ^ { 3 } + 0.373 \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 } - 2.16 \mathrm { t } + 15.1 , where V\mathrm { V } is in volts and tt is the time of operation in hours. The cell provides useful power as long as the voltage remains above <v>< \mathrm { v } > volts. Use Newton's method to find the useful working time of the cell to the nearest tenth of an hour (that is, solve V(t)=7.4\mathrm { V } ( \mathrm { t } ) = 7.4 volts). Use t=7\mathrm { t } = 7 hours as your initial guess and show all your work.

Answer the problem. -Imagine there is a function for which f(x) = 0 for all x. Does such a function exist? Is it reasonable to say that all values of x are critical points for such a function? Is it reasonable to say that all values of x are extreme values for such a function. Give reasons for your answer.
