answer：Okay, so I have this problem about a real estate broker who wants to invest in two cities, City A and City B. They can buy a total of 50 properties, some in City A and some in City B. The ROI for City A is given by a quadratic function, and for City B, it's a linear function. The goal is to maximize the combined ROI.Let me try to break this down step by step.First, part a) asks to express the combined ROI as a function of x only. That means I need to write an equation where the total ROI depends only on the number of properties bought in City A, which is x. Since the total number of properties is 50, the number of properties in City B, which is y, must be 50 minus x. So, y = 50 - x. That makes sense because if you know how many you're buying in City A, you subtract that from 50 to get the number for City B.Now, the ROI for City A is given by R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x. And for City B, it's R_B(y) = 7y. So, the combined ROI would be R_A(x) + R_B(y). But since y is 50 - x, I can substitute that into R_B(y). So, R_B(y) becomes 7*(50 - x). Let me write that out:Total ROI = R_A(x) + R_B(y) = (-0.5x² + 10x) + 7*(50 - x)Now, I need to simplify this expression. Let's expand the 7*(50 - x) part first.7*50 is 350, and 7*(-x) is -7x. So, R_B(y) simplifies to 350 - 7x.Now, adding that to R_A(x):Total ROI = (-0.5x² + 10x) + (350 - 7x)Combine like terms. The x terms are 10x and -7x, which add up to 3x. The constant term is 350. So, putting it all together:Total ROI = -0.5x² + 3x + 350So, that's the combined ROI as a function of x only. I think that's part a) done.Moving on to part b), which asks to find the value of x that maximizes the combined ROI and then find the maximum ROI.Alright, so we have the function:Total ROI = -0.5x² + 3x + 350This is a quadratic function in terms of x. Quadratic functions graph as parabolas, and since the coefficient of x² is negative (-0.5), the parabola opens downward. That means the vertex of the parabola is the maximum point. So, the x-coordinate of the vertex will give us the value of x that maximizes the ROI.I remember that for a quadratic function in the form f(x) = ax² + bx + c, the x-coordinate of the vertex is given by -b/(2a). Let me apply that here.In our function, a = -0.5 and b = 3.So, x = -b/(2a) = -3/(2*(-0.5)) = -3/(-1) = 3.Wait, that seems straightforward. So, x = 3. Hmm, but let me double-check my calculation.Yes, a is -0.5, so 2a is -1. Then, -b is -3, so -3 divided by -1 is 3. So, x = 3.But wait a second, x is the number of properties in City A. If x is 3, then y would be 50 - 3 = 47. That seems like a very small number of properties in City A. Is that correct?Let me think. The ROI function for City A is quadratic, which peaks somewhere, and the ROI for City B is linear, which increases as y increases. So, if the maximum of the combined ROI is at x = 3, that would mean that beyond 3 properties in City A, the ROI from City A starts to decrease, but since City B's ROI is linear and increasing, maybe the optimal point is indeed at x = 3.But let me verify this by checking the second derivative or maybe plugging in some values around x = 3 to see if the ROI is indeed maximized there.Alternatively, since it's a quadratic function, the vertex is the only critical point, and since it's a maximum, that should be the point.But just to be thorough, let's compute the ROI at x = 3 and maybe at x = 2 and x = 4 to see if it's indeed a maximum.First, at x = 3:Total ROI = -0.5*(3)^2 + 3*(3) + 350 = -0.5*9 + 9 + 350 = -4.5 + 9 + 350 = 4.5 + 350 = 354.5At x = 2:Total ROI = -0.5*(4) + 6 + 350 = -2 + 6 + 350 = 4 + 350 = 354At x = 4:Total ROI = -0.5*(16) + 12 + 350 = -8 + 12 + 350 = 4 + 350 = 354Hmm, interesting. So, at x = 3, the ROI is 354.5, which is higher than both x = 2 and x = 4, which are 354 each. So, that does seem to confirm that x = 3 is indeed the maximum.But wait, that seems counterintuitive because the ROI for City A is a quadratic function that peaks somewhere. Let me check the ROI for City A alone.R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10xThe vertex of this parabola is at x = -b/(2a) = -10/(2*(-0.5)) = -10/(-1) = 10. So, the maximum ROI for City A alone is at x = 10, where R_A(10) = -0.5*(100) + 100 = -50 + 100 = 50.But in our combined ROI function, the maximum is at x = 3, which is much lower. That's because when we add the ROI from City B, which is linear and increasing, the trade-off between the two affects the overall maximum.So, even though City A's ROI peaks at x = 10, the fact that City B's ROI increases as y increases (which is 50 - x) means that beyond a certain point, the decrease in City A's ROI isn't compensated by the increase in City B's ROI.Wait, but in our calculation, the maximum is at x = 3, which is much lower than 10. That seems a bit odd. Let me think again.Wait, the combined ROI function is -0.5x² + 3x + 350. The derivative of this function is f'(x) = -x + 3. Setting this equal to zero gives x = 3, which is correct.Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in setting up the combined ROI function. Let me go back to part a) and verify.We had R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x and R_B(y) = 7y, with y = 50 - x.So, Total ROI = (-0.5x² + 10x) + 7*(50 - x) = -0.5x² + 10x + 350 - 7x = -0.5x² + 3x + 350.Yes, that seems correct.So, the function is correct, and the maximum is indeed at x = 3.But let me think about the units. If x is 3, that means buying 3 properties in City A and 47 in City B. The ROI from City A is R_A(3) = -0.5*(9) + 10*3 = -4.5 + 30 = 25.5.The ROI from City B is R_B(47) = 7*47 = 329.So, total ROI is 25.5 + 329 = 354.5, which matches our earlier calculation.If we buy 10 properties in City A, which is where R_A peaks, then y would be 40.R_A(10) = 50, as calculated before.R_B(40) = 7*40 = 280.Total ROI = 50 + 280 = 330, which is less than 354.5.So, indeed, buying more in City A beyond x = 3 doesn't help because the increase in City A's ROI is offset by the decrease in City B's ROI, and vice versa.Wait, but if x = 3 gives a higher total ROI than x = 10, that seems correct because the combined function's maximum is at x = 3.But let me check another point, say x = 0.At x = 0, y = 50.R_A(0) = 0.R_B(50) = 7*50 = 350.Total ROI = 0 + 350 = 350, which is less than 354.5.Similarly, at x = 50, y = 0.R_A(50) = -0.5*(2500) + 10*50 = -1250 + 500 = -750.R_B(0) = 0.Total ROI = -750 + 0 = -750, which is way worse.So, the maximum is indeed at x = 3.But wait, that seems like a very small number. Let me think again. Maybe I made a mistake in the setup.Wait, the ROI functions are given as R_A(x) and R_B(y). Are these total ROI for x and y properties, or per property ROI?Looking back at the problem statement:"The ROI for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x, and for City B, the ROI is modeled by the linear function R_B(y) = 7y."Wait, hold on. The way it's phrased is a bit ambiguous. It says "the ROI for each property in City A is modeled by...". So, does that mean R_A(x) is the total ROI for x properties, or is it the ROI per property?If it's per property, then the total ROI would be x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y). But in the problem statement, it says "the ROI for each property in City A is modeled by...", which suggests that R_A(x) is the ROI per property, not the total.Wait, that would change things. Let me read it again carefully."The broker has determined that the return on investment (ROI) for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x, and for City B, the ROI is modeled by the linear function R_B(y) = 7y."Hmm, the wording is a bit unclear. It says "ROI for each property... is modeled by...". So, perhaps R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when x properties are purchased. Similarly, R_B(y) is the ROI per property in City B when y properties are purchased.If that's the case, then the total ROI would be x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).Wait, that would make more sense because otherwise, if R_A(x) is the total ROI for x properties, then the function would be as we have it. But the way it's phrased, it's ROI per property, which depends on how many properties you buy. That seems a bit odd because usually, ROI per property wouldn't depend on the number of properties you buy, but maybe in this case, it does because of market saturation or something.So, if R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when purchasing x properties, then total ROI from City A would be x*R_A(x). Similarly, total ROI from City B would be y*R_B(y).But in that case, the combined ROI would be x*(-0.5x² + 10x) + y*(7y). But since y = 50 - x, we can write it as:Total ROI = x*(-0.5x² + 10x) + (50 - x)*(7*(50 - x))Wait, that would be a different function altogether. Let me see.But the problem statement is a bit ambiguous. Let me check the original problem again."A real estate broker is expanding their portfolio by investing in two emerging markets, City A and City B. The broker plans to purchase x properties in City A and y properties in City B. The total number of properties they can afford is given by the equation:x + y = 50The broker has determined that the return on investment (ROI) for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x, and for City B, the ROI is modeled by the linear function R_B(y) = 7y. The broker wants to maximize their combined ROI from both cities."So, it says "ROI for each property in City A is modeled by...", so R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when purchasing x properties. Similarly, R_B(y) is the ROI per property in City B when purchasing y properties.Therefore, the total ROI from City A would be x*R_A(x) = x*(-0.5x² + 10x) = -0.5x³ + 10x².Similarly, the total ROI from City B would be y*R_B(y) = y*7y = 7y².But since y = 50 - x, we can substitute that into the total ROI function.So, Total ROI = -0.5x³ + 10x² + 7*(50 - x)²Let me expand that.First, expand (50 - x)²:(50 - x)² = 2500 - 100x + x²So, 7*(50 - x)² = 7*(2500 - 100x + x²) = 17500 - 700x + 7x²Now, the total ROI function becomes:Total ROI = -0.5x³ + 10x² + 17500 - 700x + 7x²Combine like terms:-0.5x³ + (10x² + 7x²) + (-700x) + 17500Which simplifies to:-0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500So, now, the combined ROI function is a cubic function: f(x) = -0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500This is different from what I had before. So, I think I misinterpreted the problem initially. I assumed R_A(x) and R_B(y) were total ROI functions, but actually, they are per property ROI functions, so the total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).Therefore, the correct combined ROI function is f(x) = -0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500.Now, to find the maximum, we need to find the critical points of this function. Since it's a cubic function, it can have one or two critical points. We can find the derivative and set it equal to zero.First, let's compute the derivative f'(x):f'(x) = d/dx [-0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500] = -1.5x² + 34x - 700Set f'(x) = 0:-1.5x² + 34x - 700 = 0Multiply both sides by -2 to eliminate the decimal:3x² - 68x + 1400 = 0Now, we can solve this quadratic equation for x.Using the quadratic formula:x = [68 ± sqrt(68² - 4*3*1400)] / (2*3)Calculate discriminant D:D = 68² - 4*3*1400 = 4624 - 16800 = -12176Wait, the discriminant is negative, which means there are no real roots. That can't be right because a cubic function must have at least one real root, and its derivative is a quadratic, which can have two real roots, one real root, or none.But in this case, the derivative is a quadratic with a negative discriminant, meaning it doesn't cross the x-axis, so the function f(x) is either always increasing or always decreasing after a certain point.But since the leading coefficient of f'(x) is -1.5, which is negative, the parabola opens downward. But since the discriminant is negative, it doesn't cross the x-axis, meaning f'(x) is always negative or always positive.Wait, let's check the value of f'(x) at x = 0:f'(0) = -1.5*(0)^2 + 34*0 - 700 = -700 < 0So, the derivative is negative at x = 0. Since the parabola opens downward (because the coefficient of x² is negative), and it doesn't cross the x-axis, the derivative is always negative. That means the function f(x) is always decreasing.But that can't be right because if we have x = 0, f(x) = 17500, and as x increases, f(x) decreases, which would mean the maximum ROI is at x = 0, buying all 50 properties in City B.But that contradicts the earlier calculation where buying 3 in City A and 47 in City B gave a higher ROI than buying all in City B.Wait, this is confusing. Let me go back.Wait, if the derivative is always negative, that means the function is always decreasing, so the maximum occurs at the smallest x, which is x = 0.But when x = 0, y = 50, and total ROI is f(0) = -0.5*(0)^3 + 17*(0)^2 - 700*(0) + 17500 = 17500.But earlier, when I thought R_A(x) and R_B(y) were total ROI functions, I got a maximum at x = 3 with total ROI 354.5, which is way less than 17500. That suggests that I must have misinterpreted the problem.Wait, perhaps the problem is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions, not per property. Let me re-examine the problem statement."The broker has determined that the return on investment (ROI) for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x, and for City B, the ROI is modeled by the linear function R_B(y) = 7y."So, it says "ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which suggests that R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when x properties are purchased. Similarly, R_B(y) is the ROI per property in City B when y properties are purchased.Therefore, the total ROI from City A would be x*R_A(x) = x*(-0.5x² + 10x) = -0.5x³ + 10x².Similarly, the total ROI from City B would be y*R_B(y) = y*7y = 7y².But since y = 50 - x, we substitute:Total ROI = -0.5x³ + 10x² + 7*(50 - x)^2Expanding (50 - x)^2:= 2500 - 100x + x²So, 7*(50 - x)^2 = 17500 - 700x + 7x²Therefore, Total ROI = -0.5x³ + 10x² + 17500 - 700x + 7x²Combine like terms:-0.5x³ + (10x² + 7x²) + (-700x) + 17500= -0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500So, f(x) = -0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500Now, taking the derivative:f'(x) = -1.5x² + 34x - 700Setting f'(x) = 0:-1.5x² + 34x - 700 = 0Multiply both sides by -2 to eliminate the decimal:3x² - 68x + 1400 = 0Now, discriminant D = (-68)^2 - 4*3*1400 = 4624 - 16800 = -12176Negative discriminant, so no real roots. Therefore, f'(x) is always negative because the leading coefficient is negative (-1.5). So, the function is always decreasing.Therefore, the maximum occurs at the smallest possible x, which is x = 0.So, buying 0 properties in City A and 50 in City B gives the maximum ROI of f(0) = 17500.But wait, that contradicts the earlier interpretation where R_A(x) and R_B(y) were total ROI functions, leading to a maximum at x = 3.This is confusing. Let me try to clarify.If R_A(x) is the total ROI for x properties in City A, then the total ROI is R_A(x) + R_B(y) = -0.5x² + 10x + 7y, with y = 50 - x.Which simplifies to -0.5x² + 3x + 350, as I did initially.But if R_A(x) is the ROI per property, then total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y) = -0.5x³ + 10x² + 7y², which with y = 50 - x becomes a cubic function with a maximum at x = 0.But the problem statement says "ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which suggests per property ROI. However, in that case, the maximum ROI is achieved by buying all properties in City B, which seems counterintuitive because City A's ROI per property is a quadratic function that peaks at x = 10, but when considering the total ROI, it's better to buy all in City B.But let's test this.If x = 0, y = 50.Total ROI = 0 + 7*50² = 7*2500 = 17500.If x = 10, y = 40.Total ROI = 10*(-0.5*(10)^2 + 10*10) + 40*7*40= 10*(-50 + 100) + 40*280= 10*50 + 11200= 500 + 11200 = 11700Which is less than 17500.Similarly, at x = 3, y = 47.Total ROI = 3*(-0.5*9 + 30) + 47*7*47= 3*(-4.5 + 30) + 47*329= 3*25.5 + 15463= 76.5 + 15463 = 15539.5Still less than 17500.So, indeed, buying all in City B gives the highest ROI.But that seems odd because the problem mentions both cities, and the ROI for City A is quadratic, which might suggest that there's a balance point. But according to this interpretation, the maximum is at x = 0.However, the problem says "the broker wants to maximize their combined ROI from both cities." So, if buying all in City B gives a higher ROI, that's the answer.But let me check if I have the correct interpretation.If R_A(x) is the total ROI for x properties, then the function is quadratic, and the maximum is at x = 3.If R_A(x) is the ROI per property, then the total ROI is cubic, and the maximum is at x = 0.Given the problem statement, I think the correct interpretation is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions, not per property. Because it says "the ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which is a bit ambiguous, but in financial terms, ROI is usually a total figure, not per unit.Wait, no, ROI is typically a ratio, so it's per unit. For example, ROI is usually expressed as a percentage or a ratio per investment. So, if it's per property, then R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when x properties are purchased.Therefore, the total ROI would be x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).But in that case, the maximum is at x = 0, which seems counterintuitive because the problem mentions both cities, implying that there's a balance.Alternatively, maybe the problem intended R_A(x) and R_B(y) to be total ROI functions, not per property. Let me see.If R_A(x) is the total ROI for x properties, then R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x.Similarly, R_B(y) = 7y is the total ROI for y properties.Then, the combined ROI is R_A(x) + R_B(y) = -0.5x² + 10x + 7y, with y = 50 - x.Which simplifies to -0.5x² + 3x + 350, as before.Then, the maximum is at x = 3, with total ROI 354.5.But in this case, the ROI is much lower than the other interpretation.So, which interpretation is correct?The problem says: "the ROI for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x"So, "ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which suggests that R_A(x) is the ROI per property when x properties are purchased.Therefore, the total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).But in that case, the maximum is at x = 0, which is buying all in City B.But the problem is presented as a maximization problem, so it's more likely that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions, not per property.Alternatively, perhaps the problem is that the ROI functions are given per property, but the total ROI is linear in the number of properties.Wait, that is, if R_A(x) is the ROI per property, then total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).But if R_A(x) is quadratic in x, then total ROI becomes cubic, which complicates things.But given the problem statement, I think the intended interpretation is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions, not per property.Because otherwise, the problem becomes trivial, with the maximum at x = 0, which is not very interesting.Therefore, I think the correct approach is as I did initially, treating R_A(x) and R_B(y) as total ROI functions.Thus, the combined ROI is -0.5x² + 3x + 350, with maximum at x = 3.Therefore, the answer to part b) is x = 3, with maximum ROI of 354.5.But to be thorough, let me check both interpretations.Interpretation 1: R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions.Total ROI = -0.5x² + 10x + 7y, y = 50 - x.Simplify: -0.5x² + 3x + 350.Maximum at x = 3, ROI = 354.5.Interpretation 2: R_A(x) and R_B(y) are per property ROI functions.Total ROI = x*(-0.5x² + 10x) + y*7y, y = 50 - x.Simplify: -0.5x³ + 10x² + 7*(2500 - 100x + x²) = -0.5x³ + 17x² - 700x + 17500.Derivative: -1.5x² + 34x - 700, which has no real roots, so function is always decreasing, maximum at x = 0, ROI = 17500.But the problem mentions both cities, so it's more likely that the first interpretation is intended.Therefore, I think the correct answer is x = 3, with maximum ROI of 354.5.But to be absolutely sure, let me see if the problem mentions "per property" or not.The problem says: "the ROI for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x"So, "ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which suggests that R_A(x) is the ROI per property when x properties are purchased.Therefore, the total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).But in that case, the maximum is at x = 0, which is buying all in City B.But the problem is presented as a maximization problem, so it's more likely that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions.Alternatively, perhaps the problem intended R_A(x) to be the total ROI for x properties, and R_B(y) to be the total ROI for y properties.In that case, the combined ROI is R_A(x) + R_B(y) = -0.5x² + 10x + 7y, with y = 50 - x.Which simplifies to -0.5x² + 3x + 350, maximum at x = 3.Therefore, I think the correct interpretation is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions.Thus, the answer is x = 3, maximum ROI 354.5.But to be thorough, let me check the problem statement again."A real estate broker is expanding their portfolio by investing in two emerging markets, City A and City B. The broker plans to purchase x properties in City A and y properties in City B. The total number of properties they can afford is given by the equation:x + y = 50The broker has determined that the return on investment (ROI) for each property in City A is modeled by the quadratic function R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x, and for City B, the ROI is modeled by the linear function R_B(y) = 7y. The broker wants to maximize their combined ROI from both cities."So, "ROI for each property... is modeled by...", which suggests that R_A(x) is the ROI per property in City A when x properties are purchased.Therefore, the total ROI is x*R_A(x) + y*R_B(y).But in that case, the function is cubic, and the maximum is at x = 0.But that seems counterintuitive because the problem is presented as a trade-off between two cities.Alternatively, perhaps the problem intended R_A(x) to be the total ROI for x properties, not per property.In that case, the combined ROI is -0.5x² + 3x + 350, maximum at x = 3.Given the ambiguity, but considering the problem's context, I think the intended interpretation is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions.Therefore, the answer is x = 3, maximum ROI 354.5.But to be absolutely sure, let me check the units.If R_A(x) is total ROI for x properties, then R_A(x) = -0.5x² + 10x would have units of ROI (e.g., dollars or percentage points). Similarly, R_B(y) = 7y would have the same units.If R_A(x) is per property ROI, then R_A(x) would have units of ROI per property, and total ROI would be x*R_A(x).But in the problem statement, it's not specified whether ROI is total or per property. However, given that R_A(x) is quadratic and R_B(y) is linear, it's more likely that R_A(x) is total ROI for x properties, because per property ROI being quadratic in the number of properties purchased is unusual.Therefore, I think the correct interpretation is that R_A(x) and R_B(y) are total ROI functions.Thus, the combined ROI is -0.5x² + 3x + 350, maximum at x = 3, ROI = 354.5.Therefore, the answers are:a) Total ROI = -0.5x² + 3x + 350b) x = 3, maximum ROI = 354.5But to express the ROI as a function of x only, as in part a), it's -0.5x² + 3x + 350.And for part b), the value of x that maximizes ROI is 3, with maximum ROI of 354.5.But let me check the calculation again.At x = 3:R_A(3) = -0.5*(9) + 10*3 = -4.5 + 30 = 25.5R_B(47) = 7*47 = 329Total ROI = 25.5 + 329 = 354.5Yes, that's correct.If x = 3, y = 47.Therefore, the answers are:a) Total ROI = -0.5x² + 3x + 350b) x = 3, maximum ROI = 354.5But to express the ROI as a function of x only, it's -0.5x² + 3x + 350.And for part b), the value of x that maximizes ROI is 3, with maximum ROI of 354.5.Therefore, the final answers are:a) f(x) = -0.5x² + 3x + 350b) x = 3, maximum ROI = 354.5But to express the ROI as a function of x only, it's -0.5x² + 3x + 350.And for part b), the value of x that maximizes ROI is 3, with maximum ROI of 354.5.Therefore, the answers are:a) boxed{-0.5x^2 + 3x + 350}b) The value of x that maximizes the combined ROI is boxed{3}, and the maximum combined ROI is boxed{354.5}But wait, the problem might expect the ROI to be in whole numbers or something else. Let me check the calculation again.At x = 3:R_A(3) = -0.5*(3)^2 + 10*3 = -4.5 + 30 = 25.5R_B(47) = 7*47 = 329Total ROI = 25.5 + 329 = 354.5Yes, that's correct.Alternatively, if the ROI is in percentage terms, 354.5% seems high, but the problem doesn't specify units, so it's just a numerical value.Therefore, the answers are as above.

answer：Okay, I need to write a Python function that analyzes a list of car parts and determines which are labeled as eco-friendly. Hmm, the function should take a list of strings as input. Each string is a car part, and some of them might contain the word "eco-friendly". The goal is to return a list of all parts that include that term.So, how do I approach this? Well, I think I can loop through each item in the input list. For each item, I'll check if the string contains "eco-friendly". If it does, I'll add it to a new list that I'll return at the end.Wait, but how exactly do I check if a string contains a certain substring in Python? Oh right, I can use the 'in' keyword. Like, if "eco-friendly" is in the string, then it's a match.So the steps are:1. Initialize an empty list to store the eco-friendly parts.2. Iterate over each part in the input list.3. For each part, check if "eco-friendly" is a substring.4. If yes, append it to the new list.5. After processing all parts, return the new list.Let me think about possible edge cases. What if the string is exactly "eco-friendly"? That should be included. What if it's part of a larger word, like "ecofriendly"? Oh, but the problem says the parts may or may not contain the word "eco-friendly". So I guess the exact phrase is what we're looking for.Wait, the example given includes "eco-friendly tire" and "eco-friendly oil filter" as outputs. So the function is looking for the exact phrase "eco-friendly" within each string.So, the condition is straightforward: if "eco-friendly" is present in the string, include it.Now, writing the code.The function could be called something like get_eco_friendly_parts. It takes parts as the parameter.Inside the function, create an empty list, say eco_parts = [].Then loop for part in parts: if "eco-friendly" in part: append to eco_parts.Return eco_parts.Testing with the example:Input: ["eco-friendly tire", "standard battery", "eco-friendly oil filter", "regular spark plug"]The function should check each string:"eco-friendly tire" → yes."standard battery" → no."eco-friendly oil filter" → yes."regular spark plug" → no.So the output is the first and third elements, which matches the expected output.What about case sensitivity? The problem statement says each string may or may not contain the word. So I assume the check is case-sensitive. So if a part is "Eco-Friendly tire", it won't be included. But the example uses lowercase, so perhaps the input is always in the correct case. Or maybe the function should be case-insensitive. But the problem statement doesn't specify, so I think we can proceed with case-sensitive checking as per the example.Another test case: what if a part is "something eco-friendly else"? It should be included.So the code seems straightforward.Let me write it.Function:def get_eco_friendly_parts(parts): eco_parts = [] for part in parts: if "eco-friendly" in part: eco_parts.append(part) return eco_partsYes, that should do it.

answer：Okay, so I've got this problem about a news reporter analyzing gun control policy debates. There are two parts to it. Let me try to tackle them one by one.Starting with the first part: Determine the number of years after starting their coverage that the reporter would have covered exactly 50 debates. The function given is ( f(x) = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x + 5 ). I need to solve ( f(x) = 50 ) for ( x ).Alright, so I need to set up the equation:( 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x + 5 = 50 )First, subtract 50 from both sides to set it equal to zero:( 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x + 5 - 50 = 0 )Simplify that:( 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 45 = 0 )So, now I have a cubic equation: ( 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 45 = 0 ). Hmm, solving cubic equations can be tricky. Maybe I can factor this or use the Rational Root Theorem to find possible roots.The Rational Root Theorem says that any possible rational root, p/q, is a factor of the constant term divided by a factor of the leading coefficient. So, the constant term here is -45, and the leading coefficient is 2. So possible roots could be ±1, ±3, ±5, ±9, ±15, ±45, and then divided by 1 or 2. So, possible roots are ±1, ±3, ±5, ±9, ±15, ±45, ±1/2, ±3/2, etc.Let me test these possible roots by plugging them into the equation.First, let's try x=3:( 2*(27) - 9*(9) + 12*(3) - 45 = 54 - 81 + 36 - 45 = (54 - 81) + (36 - 45) = (-27) + (-9) = -36 ≠ 0 ). Not a root.How about x=5:( 2*(125) - 9*(25) + 12*(5) - 45 = 250 - 225 + 60 - 45 = (250 - 225) + (60 - 45) = 25 + 15 = 40 ≠ 0 ). Not a root.x=1:( 2 - 9 + 12 - 45 = (2 - 9) + (12 - 45) = (-7) + (-33) = -40 ≠ 0 ). Not a root.x= -1:( -2 - 9 - 12 - 45 = -68 ≠ 0 ). Not a root.x= 3/2:Let me compute:( 2*(27/8) - 9*(9/4) + 12*(3/2) - 45 )Simplify each term:( 2*(27/8) = 54/8 = 27/4 = 6.75 )( -9*(9/4) = -81/4 = -20.25 )( 12*(3/2) = 18 )So adding up: 6.75 - 20.25 + 18 - 45Compute step by step:6.75 - 20.25 = -13.5-13.5 + 18 = 4.54.5 - 45 = -40.5 ≠ 0. Not a root.x= 5/2:Compute:( 2*(125/8) - 9*(25/4) + 12*(5/2) - 45 )Simplify:( 250/8 = 125/4 = 31.25 )( -225/4 = -56.25 )( 60/2 = 30 )So total: 31.25 - 56.25 + 30 - 45Compute:31.25 - 56.25 = -25-25 + 30 = 55 - 45 = -40 ≠ 0. Not a root.Hmm, maybe x= 5/2 is not a root. Let me try x= 9/2? That might be too big, but let's see:Wait, maybe I should try x= 3 again, but I think I did that. Maybe I made a mistake.Wait, let me try x= 3 again:( 2*27 - 9*9 + 12*3 - 45 = 54 - 81 + 36 - 45 )54 - 81 is -27, 36 -45 is -9, so total is -36. Not zero.Wait, maybe I should try x= 5 again:2*125=250, 9*25=225, 12*5=60.250 - 225 + 60 -45 = 25 +15=40. Not zero.Wait, maybe x= 15? That seems too big, but let's see:2*(3375) -9*(225) +12*15 -45.That's 6750 - 2025 + 180 -45.6750 -2025=4725, 4725 +180=4905, 4905 -45=4860 ≠0.Hmm, maybe x= 1/2:2*(1/8) -9*(1/4) +12*(1/2) -45.That's 0.25 - 2.25 +6 -45.0.25 -2.25= -2, -2 +6=4, 4 -45=-41≠0.x= -3:2*(-27) -9*(9) +12*(-3) -45= -54 -81 -36 -45= -216≠0.Hmm, maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I should try synthetic division or factor by grouping.Looking at the equation: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.Let me try to factor by grouping.Group the first two terms and the last two terms:(2x^3 -9x^2) + (12x -45)Factor out x^2 from the first group: x^2(2x -9)Factor out 3 from the second group: 3(4x -15)Hmm, so we have x^2(2x -9) +3(4x -15). Doesn't seem to factor nicely.Wait, maybe I can factor out something else. Let me see.Alternatively, maybe I can factor out a common term.Wait, maybe I can factor out (2x -9) from the first two terms and see if the second two terms can be expressed similarly.Wait, 2x^3 -9x^2 = x^2(2x -9)12x -45 = 3(4x -15). Hmm, not the same as 2x -9.Wait, maybe I can adjust the coefficients. Let me see.Alternatively, perhaps I should use the cubic formula or numerical methods, but that might be complicated.Wait, maybe I made a mistake in setting up the equation. Let me double-check.Original function: f(x) = 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5.Set equal to 50: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5 =50.Subtract 50: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0. That seems correct.Hmm, maybe I can try to factor this cubic equation.Alternatively, perhaps I can use the rational root theorem with possible roots as factors of 45 over factors of 2, so possible roots are ±1, ±3, ±5, ±9, ±15, ±45, ±1/2, ±3/2, etc.Wait, I tried x=3, x=5, x=1, x= -1, x=3/2, x=5/2, none worked. Maybe x= 15/2? That seems too big, but let's try.Wait, maybe I should try x= 3 again, but perhaps I miscalculated.Wait, x=3: 2*(27)=54, 9*(9)=81, 12*3=36.So 54 -81= -27, 36 -45= -9. So total is -27 -9= -36. Not zero.Wait, maybe I should try x= 5/2 again.Wait, x=5/2: 2*(125/8)=250/8=31.25, 9*(25/4)=225/4=56.25, 12*(5/2)=30.So 31.25 -56.25= -25, -25 +30=5, 5 -45= -40. Not zero.Hmm, maybe I need to try another approach. Maybe I can use the derivative to find possible turning points, but that might not help directly.Alternatively, maybe I can use the fact that the function is a cubic and will have at least one real root. Since I can't find a rational root, perhaps I need to use numerical methods or graphing to approximate the root.Wait, but since this is a problem likely intended for algebraic solution, maybe I made a mistake in the setup.Wait, let me check the original function again: f(x) = 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5.Set to 50: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5=50.So 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.Wait, maybe I can factor this as (x - a)(quadratic)=0.Let me try to factor it as (x - a)(bx^2 +cx +d)=0.Expanding: x*(bx^2 +cx +d) -a*(bx^2 +cx +d)= bx^3 +cx^2 +dx -abx^2 -acx -ad.So, equate coefficients:b=2c -ab= -9d -ac=12-ad= -45So, from the last equation: -ad= -45 => ad=45.From the first equation, b=2.From the second equation: c -a*2= -9 => c=2a -9.From the third equation: d -a*c=12.But d= (from ad=45) d=45/a.So, substituting into third equation:45/a -a*(2a -9)=12.So, 45/a -2a^2 +9a=12.Multiply both sides by a to eliminate denominator:45 -2a^3 +9a^2=12a.Bring all terms to one side:-2a^3 +9a^2 -12a +45=0.Multiply both sides by -1:2a^3 -9a^2 +12a -45=0.Wait, that's the same as the original equation. So, this approach isn't helping.Hmm, maybe I need to use the cubic formula or numerical methods. Alternatively, perhaps the equation can be factored as (x - 3)(something)=0.Wait, let me try synthetic division with x=3.Coefficients: 2 | -9 | 12 | -45Bring down 2.Multiply by 3: 2*3=6. Add to next coefficient: -9+6=-3.Multiply by 3: -3*3=-9. Add to next coefficient:12 + (-9)=3.Multiply by 3:3*3=9. Add to last coefficient: -45 +9=-36≠0. So, remainder is -36, so x=3 is not a root.Wait, maybe x=5.Coefficients:2 | -9 |12 | -45Bring down 2.Multiply by5:2*5=10. Add to -9:1.Multiply by5:1*5=5. Add to12:17.Multiply by5:17*5=85. Add to -45:40≠0. Not a root.Hmm, maybe x= 15/2? That seems too big, but let's try.Wait, maybe I should try x= 3/2 again.Wait, using synthetic division with x=3/2.Coefficients:2 | -9 |12 | -45Bring down 2.Multiply by 3/2:2*(3/2)=3. Add to -9: -6.Multiply by3/2: -6*(3/2)= -9. Add to12:3.Multiply by3/2:3*(3/2)=4.5. Add to -45: -40.5≠0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe x= 5/2.Coefficients:2 | -9 |12 | -45Bring down 2.Multiply by5/2:2*(5/2)=5. Add to -9: -4.Multiply by5/2: -4*(5/2)= -10. Add to12:2.Multiply by5/2:2*(5/2)=5. Add to -45: -40≠0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe x= 9/2.Coefficients:2 | -9 |12 | -45Bring down 2.Multiply by9/2:2*(9/2)=9. Add to -9:0.Multiply by9/2:0*(9/2)=0. Add to12:12.Multiply by9/2:12*(9/2)=54. Add to -45:9≠0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe I should try x= 15/2.But that's 7.5, which seems too large, but let's see.Wait, maybe I should try x= 3 again, but perhaps I made a mistake earlier.Wait, x=3: 2*27=54, 9*9=81, 12*3=36.54 -81= -27, 36 -45= -9. So total is -27 -9= -36≠0.Wait, maybe I can try x= 5/2 again.Wait, 2*(125/8)=250/8=31.25, 9*(25/4)=225/4=56.25, 12*(5/2)=30.31.25 -56.25= -25, -25 +30=5, 5 -45= -40≠0.Hmm, maybe I need to use the cubic formula or numerical methods.Alternatively, perhaps I can graph the function to estimate the root.Wait, let me think about the behavior of the function f(x)=2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45.As x approaches infinity, the function goes to infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, it goes to negative infinity.Let me compute f(3)=2*27 -9*9 +12*3 -45=54 -81 +36 -45= -36.f(4)=2*64 -9*16 +12*4 -45=128 -144 +48 -45= (128-144)= -16, (48-45)=3, so total -13.f(5)=2*125 -9*25 +12*5 -45=250 -225 +60 -45=40.So between x=4 and x=5, f(x) goes from -13 to 40, so it crosses zero somewhere between 4 and5.Similarly, let's check f(4.5):2*(4.5)^3 -9*(4.5)^2 +12*(4.5) -45.Compute 4.5^3=91.125, 4.5^2=20.25.So 2*91.125=182.25, 9*20.25=182.25, 12*4.5=54.So f(4.5)=182.25 -182.25 +54 -45=0 +9=9.So f(4.5)=9.f(4)= -13, f(4.5)=9, so the root is between 4 and4.5.Let me try x=4.25:4.25^3=76.765625, 4.25^2=18.0625.2*76.765625=153.53125, 9*18.0625=162.5625, 12*4.25=51.So f(4.25)=153.53125 -162.5625 +51 -45.Compute step by step:153.53125 -162.5625= -9.03125-9.03125 +51=41.9687541.96875 -45= -3.03125.So f(4.25)= -3.03125.So between x=4.25 and4.5, f(x) goes from -3.03 to9.Let me try x=4.375:4.375^3= approx 4.375*4.375=19.140625, then *4.375≈83.7421875.4.375^2=19.140625.So 2*83.7421875≈167.484375.9*19.140625≈172.265625.12*4.375=52.5.So f(4.375)=167.484375 -172.265625 +52.5 -45.Compute:167.484375 -172.265625= -4.78125-4.78125 +52.5=47.7187547.71875 -45=2.71875.So f(4.375)=2.71875.So between x=4.25 (-3.03) and4.375(2.71875), the root is there.Let me try x=4.3125 (midpoint between4.25 and4.375).Compute f(4.3125):4.3125^3≈4.3125*4.3125=18.5859375, then *4.3125≈80.05859375.4.3125^2≈18.5859375.So 2*80.05859375≈160.1171875.9*18.5859375≈167.2734375.12*4.3125=51.75.So f(4.3125)=160.1171875 -167.2734375 +51.75 -45.Compute:160.1171875 -167.2734375≈-7.15625-7.15625 +51.75≈44.5937544.59375 -45≈-0.40625.So f(4.3125)=≈-0.40625.So between x=4.3125 (-0.40625) and4.375(2.71875), the root is there.Let me try x=4.34375 (midpoint).Compute f(4.34375):4.34375^3≈4.34375*4.34375≈18.8671875, then *4.34375≈81.89453125.4.34375^2≈18.8671875.So 2*81.89453125≈163.7890625.9*18.8671875≈169.8046875.12*4.34375≈52.125.So f(4.34375)=163.7890625 -169.8046875 +52.125 -45.Compute:163.7890625 -169.8046875≈-6.015625-6.015625 +52.125≈46.10937546.109375 -45≈1.109375.So f(4.34375)=≈1.109375.So between x=4.3125 (-0.40625) and4.34375(1.109375), the root is there.Let me try x=4.328125 (midpoint).Compute f(4.328125):4.328125^3≈4.328125*4.328125≈18.732421875, then *4.328125≈80.8203125.4.328125^2≈18.732421875.So 2*80.8203125≈161.640625.9*18.732421875≈168.591796875.12*4.328125≈51.9375.So f(4.328125)=161.640625 -168.591796875 +51.9375 -45.Compute:161.640625 -168.591796875≈-6.951171875-6.951171875 +51.9375≈44.98632812544.986328125 -45≈-0.013671875.So f(4.328125)=≈-0.01367.Almost zero. So x≈4.328125.Since f(4.328125)=≈-0.01367 and f(4.34375)=1.109375, the root is between 4.328125 and4.34375.To approximate, let's use linear approximation.Between x=4.328125 (f≈-0.01367) and x=4.34375 (f≈1.109375).The difference in x is 4.34375 -4.328125=0.015625.The difference in f is 1.109375 - (-0.01367)=1.123046875.We want to find x where f(x)=0.So, from x=4.328125, we need to cover 0.01367 to reach zero.So, fraction=0.01367 /1.123046875≈0.01216.So, x≈4.328125 +0.01216*0.015625≈4.328125 +0.000189≈4.328314.So, approximately x≈4.3283.So, about 4.33 years.But since the problem is about the number of years since starting coverage, and likely expects an integer, but maybe it's okay to have a fractional year.Wait, but the function f(x) is a cubic, so it's possible that there are three real roots, but since we're looking for positive years, we can ignore negative roots.Alternatively, perhaps I made a mistake in the setup, but I think the approach is correct.So, the solution is approximately x≈4.33 years.But let me check if I can find an exact solution.Alternatively, maybe I can use the cubic formula, but that's quite involved.Alternatively, perhaps I can factor the cubic equation as (x - a)(quadratic)=0.Wait, let me try to factor it as (x - 3)(2x^2 -3x +15)=0.Wait, let me check:(x -3)(2x^2 -3x +15)=2x^3 -3x^2 +15x -6x^2 +9x -45=2x^3 -9x^2 +24x -45.But our equation is 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.So, the quadratic term is different. So, that's not the case.Wait, maybe (x - something else).Alternatively, perhaps I can use the depressed cubic.Let me try to make a substitution x = y + h to eliminate the quadratic term.Given the cubic equation: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.Let me divide both sides by 2 to make it monic:x^3 - (9/2)x^2 +6x -22.5=0.Now, let me make the substitution x = y + (9/6)= y + 1.5.Because in the depressed cubic, we set x = y + (b/3a), where b is the coefficient of x^2, which is -9/2.So, x = y + (9/6)= y + 1.5.Now, substitute into the equation:(y + 1.5)^3 - (9/2)(y +1.5)^2 +6(y +1.5) -22.5=0.Let me expand each term.First term: (y +1.5)^3= y^3 + 3*(1.5)y^2 +3*(1.5)^2 y + (1.5)^3= y^3 +4.5y^2 +6.75y +3.375.Second term: -(9/2)(y +1.5)^2= -(9/2)(y^2 +3y +2.25)= -(9/2)y^2 - (27/2)y -10.125.Third term:6(y +1.5)=6y +9.Fourth term: -22.5.Now, combine all terms:y^3 +4.5y^2 +6.75y +3.375 - (9/2)y^2 - (27/2)y -10.125 +6y +9 -22.5=0.Convert all to decimals for easier calculation:y^3 +4.5y^2 +6.75y +3.375 -4.5y^2 -13.5y -10.125 +6y +9 -22.5=0.Now, combine like terms:y^3 + (4.5y^2 -4.5y^2) + (6.75y -13.5y +6y) + (3.375 -10.125 +9 -22.5)=0.Simplify:y^3 +0y^2 + (-0.75y) + (-20.25)=0.So, the depressed cubic is y^3 -0.75y -20.25=0.Now, this is a depressed cubic of the form y^3 + py + q=0, where p= -0.75, q= -20.25.The solution can be found using the depressed cubic formula:y = cube root(-q/2 + sqrt((q/2)^2 + (p/3)^3)) + cube root(-q/2 - sqrt((q/2)^2 + (p/3)^3)).Compute:q= -20.25, so -q/2=10.125.(q/2)^2= (10.125)^2=102.515625.(p/3)^3= (-0.75/3)^3= (-0.25)^3= -0.015625.So, sqrt((q/2)^2 + (p/3)^3)=sqrt(102.515625 -0.015625)=sqrt(102.5)=approx10.123.So, y= cube root(10.125 +10.123) + cube root(10.125 -10.123).Compute:10.125 +10.123≈20.248.10.125 -10.123≈0.002.So, cube root(20.248)=approx2.72.cube root(0.002)=approx0.126.So, y≈2.72 +0.126≈2.846.Now, recall that x= y +1.5, so x≈2.846 +1.5≈4.346.Which is close to our earlier approximation of≈4.328.So, the real root is approximately x≈4.346.So, the reporter would have covered exactly 50 debates approximately 4.35 years after starting coverage.But since the problem might expect an exact answer, perhaps I made a mistake earlier in factoring, but I think it's safe to say that the solution is approximately 4.35 years.Wait, but the problem might expect an exact answer, but since I can't find a rational root, maybe it's intended to be solved numerically.Alternatively, perhaps I made a mistake in the setup.Wait, let me check the original function again: f(x)=2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5.Set to 50: 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x +5=50.So, 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.Wait, maybe I can factor this as (x - 3)(2x^2 -3x +15)=0, but earlier that didn't match.Wait, let me check:(x -3)(2x^2 -3x +15)=2x^3 -3x^2 +15x -6x^2 +9x -45=2x^3 -9x^2 +24x -45.But our equation is 2x^3 -9x^2 +12x -45=0.So, the quadratic term is different. So, that's not the case.Alternatively, perhaps I can factor it as (x - a)(2x^2 +bx +c)=0.But I tried that earlier and ended up with the same equation.So, perhaps the only real root is approximately4.35.So, the answer is x≈4.35 years.Now, moving on to the second part: The reporter projects that in the next few years, the debates will decrease at a rate modeled by the quadratic function ( g(x) = -3x^2 + 14x + 5 ), where ( x ) is the number of years from now. Find the number of years from now when the number of debates covered will be at its maximum.Okay, so we have a quadratic function g(x)= -3x^2 +14x +5.Since the coefficient of x^2 is negative (-3), the parabola opens downward, so the vertex will be the maximum point.The vertex of a parabola given by ax^2 +bx +c is at x= -b/(2a).So, here, a= -3, b=14.So, x= -14/(2*(-3))= -14/(-6)=14/6=7/3≈2.333 years.So, the maximum number of debates will occur at x=7/3 years from now, which is approximately2.333 years.So, the reporter will cover the maximum number of debates about2.333 years from now.But since the problem might expect an exact value, 7/3 years is the exact answer.So, summarizing:1. The reporter would have covered exactly 50 debates approximately4.35 years after starting coverage.2. The maximum number of debates will occur7/3 years from now.But let me double-check the second part.Given g(x)= -3x^2 +14x +5.Vertex at x= -b/(2a)= -14/(2*(-3))=14/6=7/3≈2.333.Yes, that seems correct.So, the answers are approximately4.35 years and7/3 years.But let me check if the first part can be expressed more accurately.From the cubic equation, we found the real root approximately at x≈4.346, which is roughly4.35 years.Alternatively, if we use the exact value from the depressed cubic, it's about4.346, which is approximately4.35.So, I think that's the answer.**Final Answer**1. The reporter would have covered exactly 50 debates after approximately boxed{4.35} years.2. The number of debates covered will be at its maximum boxed{dfrac{7}{3}} years from now.

answer：Okay, I need to write a Python function to calculate the average lap time for each race in a given dictionary. Let's see, the input is a dictionary where each key is a race name, and the value is a list of lap times. The output should be another dictionary with the same race names as keys, but the values are the average lap times rounded to two decimal places.Hmm, so for each race, I have to compute the average of its lap times. How do I do that? Well, for each key in the input dictionary, I'll take the corresponding list of times, sum them all, and then divide by the number of elements in the list. That gives the average.Wait, but I have to round it to two decimal places. Oh right, Python has the round function. So I can use round(average, 2) to get that.Let me think about the steps:1. Iterate over each race in the input dictionary.2. For each race, get the list of lap times.3. Calculate the sum of the lap times.4. Divide by the number of laps to get the average.5. Round the result to two decimal places.6. Add this average to the output dictionary with the same race name as the key.So, in code terms, I can start by initializing an empty dictionary for the output. Then loop through each key-value pair in the input dictionary.Wait, how do I handle the case where a race has zero laps? Oh, but according to the problem statement, each value is a list of lap times, so I assume each list has at least one element. So I don't have to worry about division by zero.Let me think about the example given. For Race1, the times are [89.5, 90.3, 88.7, 91.0]. Sum is 89.5 + 90.3 is 179.8, plus 88.7 is 268.5, plus 91 is 359.5. Wait, wait, wait: 89.5 +90.3 is 179.8, plus 88.7 is 268.5, plus 91 is 359.5. So sum is 359.5, divided by 4 is 89.875. Rounded to two decimals is 89.88, which matches the example.Similarly, Race2: 87.6 +88.4 is 176, plus 89.2 is 265.2. Divided by 3 is 88.4, which is already two decimals.So the code needs to correctly compute these.Now, in Python, the function can be written as follows:Define a function, let's say, calculate_average_lap_times, which takes the lap_times dictionary as input.Initialize an empty dictionary, like averages = {}.Then, for each race in lap_times:times = lap_times[race]sum_times = sum(times)num_laps = len(times)average = sum_times / num_lapsrounded_average = round(average, 2)averages[race] = rounded_averageReturn averages.Wait, but wait: when you round 89.875 to two decimals, it becomes 89.88, which is correct. But what about cases where the third decimal is exactly 5? Like 2.675 would round to 2.67 or 2.68? Because in Python, the round function uses "bankers rounding" which rounds to the nearest even number when the number is exactly halfway between two options. So 2.675 would round to 2.67, since 7 is odd. Wait, no, wait: 2.675 is exactly halfway between 2.67 and 2.68. The last digit before the decimal is 7, which is odd, so it rounds to 2.68? Or is it the other way around? Wait, no: 2.675 is 2.675, which is 2.675. So when rounded to two decimals, it's 2.68 because the third decimal is 5, which is >=5, so it rounds up. But wait, in Python, round(2.675, 2) gives 2.67, not 2.68. Because of the way floating points are represented. So perhaps using the round function might not always give the expected result when the third decimal is exactly 5. But for the purposes of this problem, perhaps using the round function is acceptable as per the problem statement.But in the example, it's correct. So maybe the problem expects us to use the round function as is.So, the code would be:def calculate_average_lap_times(lap_times): averages = {} for race, times in lap_times.items(): average = sum(times) / len(times) averages[race] = round(average, 2) return averagesWait, but in the example, the output for Race2 is 88.4, which is one decimal place. But when we round 88.4 to two decimals, it becomes 88.4, which is the same as 88.40. But the expected output shows 88.4, not 88.40. Hmm, but in Python, when you round 88.4 to two decimals, it's 88.4, but when stored as a float, it's the same as 88.40. But when printed, it might show as 88.4. But in the output dictionary, the value is 88.4, which is a float. So perhaps the function is correct.Wait, let's test: 88.4 is 88.40, but when you round it to two decimals, it's 88.4, but in Python, 88.4 is the same as 88.40 in terms of value. So the function is correct.Testing the example:lap_times = { "Race1": [89.5, 90.3, 88.7, 91.0], "Race2": [87.6, 88.4, 89.2], "Race3": [90.0, 92.1, 89.9, 90.5, 91.3]}For Race1: sum is 89.5+90.3=179.8, +88.7=268.5, +91=359.5. 359.5 /4=89.875. Rounded to two decimals is 89.88.Race2: sum is 87.6+88.4=176, +89.2=265.2. 265.2 /3=88.4. Rounded to two decimals is 88.4.Race3: sum is 90+92.1=182.1, +89.9=272, +90.5=362.5, +91.3=453.8. 453.8 /5=90.76. So the function returns 90.76.Which matches the expected output.So the code should work.I think that's the solution.

answer：Okay, so I need to help streamline the permit application process in Amsterdam by working with this polynomial function ( P(t) = 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t + 8 ). The goal is to find the time ( t ) that minimizes the bureaucratic burden and also determine the range of ( t ) where the burden doesn't exceed 20. Starting with the first part: finding the critical points to minimize ( P(t) ). I remember from calculus that to find minima or maxima, we need to take the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero. So, let me compute the derivative of ( P(t) ).The derivative ( P'(t) ) would be:- The derivative of ( 2t^3 ) is ( 6t^2 ).- The derivative of ( -5t^2 ) is ( -10t ).- The derivative of ( 3t ) is ( 3 ).- The derivative of the constant 8 is 0.So, putting that together, ( P'(t) = 6t^2 - 10t + 3 ).Now, I need to find the critical points by solving ( 6t^2 - 10t + 3 = 0 ). This is a quadratic equation, so I can use the quadratic formula: ( t = frac{-b pm sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ), where ( a = 6 ), ( b = -10 ), and ( c = 3 ).Calculating the discriminant first: ( b^2 - 4ac = (-10)^2 - 4*6*3 = 100 - 72 = 28 ). So, the square root of 28 is ( 2sqrt{7} ) since 28 = 4*7.Plugging into the quadratic formula:( t = frac{-(-10) pm 2sqrt{7}}{2*6} = frac{10 pm 2sqrt{7}}{12} ).Simplifying this, we can factor out a 2 in numerator and denominator:( t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{6} ).So, the critical points are at ( t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{6} ) and ( t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{6} ). Now, I need to determine which of these critical points is a minimum. Since the original function is a cubic polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, it will tend to positive infinity as ( t ) increases and negative infinity as ( t ) decreases. Therefore, the function will have a local maximum and a local minimum. To figure out which critical point is the minimum, I can use the second derivative test. Let me compute the second derivative ( P''(t) ).The second derivative of ( P(t) ) is the derivative of ( P'(t) = 6t^2 - 10t + 3 ), which is:- The derivative of ( 6t^2 ) is ( 12t ).- The derivative of ( -10t ) is ( -10 ).- The derivative of 3 is 0.So, ( P''(t) = 12t - 10 ).Now, evaluate ( P''(t) ) at each critical point.First, at ( t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{6} ):( P''left( frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{6} right) = 12*left( frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{6} right) - 10 = 2*(5 + sqrt{7}) - 10 = 10 + 2sqrt{7} - 10 = 2sqrt{7} ).Since ( 2sqrt{7} ) is positive, this critical point is a local minimum.Next, at ( t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{6} ):( P''left( frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{6} right) = 12*left( frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{6} right) - 10 = 2*(5 - sqrt{7}) - 10 = 10 - 2sqrt{7} - 10 = -2sqrt{7} ).Since ( -2sqrt{7} ) is negative, this critical point is a local maximum.Therefore, the time ( t ) at which the bureaucratic burden is minimized is ( t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{6} ) hours.Let me compute the numerical value of this to get a better sense. ( sqrt{7} ) is approximately 2.6458, so:( t approx frac{5 + 2.6458}{6} = frac{7.6458}{6} approx 1.2743 ) hours.So, approximately 1.27 hours is where the burden is minimized.Moving on to the second part: solving the inequality ( 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t + 8 leq 20 ). Let me rewrite this as:( 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t + 8 - 20 leq 0 )Simplify:( 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t - 12 leq 0 )So, we need to solve ( 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t - 12 leq 0 ).To solve this cubic inequality, I should first find the roots of the equation ( 2t^3 - 5t^2 + 3t - 12 = 0 ). Once I have the roots, I can determine the intervals where the cubic function is negative or zero.Let me try to find rational roots using the Rational Root Theorem. The possible rational roots are factors of the constant term divided by factors of the leading coefficient. So, possible roots are ( pm1, pm2, pm3, pm4, pm6, pm12 ) divided by 1 or 2, so possible roots are ( pm1, pmfrac{1}{2}, pm2, pmfrac{3}{2}, pm3, pm4, pm6, pm12 ).Let me test these possible roots:First, test t=2:( 2*(8) -5*(4) +3*(2) -12 = 16 -20 +6 -12 = -10 ≠ 0 )t=3:( 2*27 -5*9 +3*3 -12 = 54 -45 +9 -12 = 6 ≠ 0 )t=4:( 2*64 -5*16 +3*4 -12 = 128 -80 +12 -12 = 48 ≠ 0 )t=1:( 2 -5 +3 -12 = -12 ≠ 0 )t= -1:( -2 -5 -3 -12 = -22 ≠ 0 )t= 3/2:Compute ( 2*(27/8) -5*(9/4) +3*(3/2) -12 )= ( 54/8 - 45/4 + 9/2 -12 )Convert all to eighths:= ( 54/8 - 90/8 + 36/8 - 96/8 )= (54 - 90 + 36 -96)/8 = (-96)/8 = -12 ≠ 0t= 4/2=2, already tested.t=6:Too big, likely not a root.t= 12:Way too big.t= 1.5 didn't work. Maybe t= 2. Let's see, already tried t=2, not a root.Wait, maybe I missed something. Let me try t= 3/2 again.Wait, 2*(3/2)^3 -5*(3/2)^2 +3*(3/2) -12.Compute step by step:(3/2)^3 = 27/8, so 2*(27/8) = 54/8 = 27/4.(3/2)^2 = 9/4, so -5*(9/4) = -45/4.3*(3/2) = 9/2.So, putting together:27/4 - 45/4 + 9/2 -12.Convert all to quarters:27/4 -45/4 + 18/4 -48/4.Adding up numerators: 27 -45 +18 -48 = (27 +18) - (45 +48) = 45 -93 = -48.So, total is -48/4 = -12 ≠ 0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe t= 2. Let me compute again:2*(8) -5*(4) +3*(2) -12 = 16 -20 +6 -12 = (16 +6) - (20 +12) =22 -32= -10≠0.t= 1. Let me try t= 1.5 again, but no.Wait, maybe t= 4/3? Let me try t=4/3.Compute ( 2*(64/27) -5*(16/9) +3*(4/3) -12 ).Simplify:128/27 - 80/9 + 4 -12.Convert all to 27 denominators:128/27 - 240/27 + 108/27 - 324/27.Adding numerators: 128 -240 +108 -324 = (128 +108) - (240 +324) = 236 - 564 = -328.So, -328/27 ≈ -12.148 ≠0.Hmm, not a root.Maybe t= 2. Let me try t= 2 again:2*(8) -5*(4) +3*(2) -12 = 16 -20 +6 -12 = -10 ≠0.Wait, maybe t= 3 is a root? Wait, when I tried t=3, I got 6, not zero.Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in calculations. Let me try t= 3 again:2*(27) -5*(9) +3*(3) -12 = 54 -45 +9 -12 = (54 +9) - (45 +12) =63 -57=6≠0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe t= 4:2*64 -5*16 +3*4 -12 =128 -80 +12 -12= (128 +12) - (80 +12)=140 -92=48≠0.Not a root.Wait, maybe t= 1. Let me try t=1 again:2 -5 +3 -12= -12≠0.Wait, maybe t= 0.5:2*(0.125) -5*(0.25) +3*(0.5) -12=0.25 -1.25 +1.5 -12= (0.25 +1.5) - (1.25 +12)=1.75 -13.25= -11.5≠0.Hmm, not a root.Wait, maybe t= -2:2*(-8) -5*(4) +3*(-2) -12= -16 -20 -6 -12= -54≠0.Not a root.Wait, maybe t= 6:2*216 -5*36 +3*6 -12=432 -180 +18 -12= (432 +18) - (180 +12)=450 -192=258≠0.Not a root.Hmm, seems like none of the rational roots are working. Maybe I need to use another method, like factoring by grouping or using synthetic division, but since it's a cubic, maybe I can factor it.Alternatively, perhaps I can use the cubic formula, but that might be complicated. Alternatively, maybe I can graph the function or use numerical methods to approximate the roots.Alternatively, since I need to solve ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 leq 0 ), perhaps I can analyze the behavior of the function.First, let's note that as ( t ) approaches positive infinity, ( 2t^3 ) dominates, so the function tends to positive infinity. As ( t ) approaches negative infinity, it tends to negative infinity.But since we're dealing with time ( t ), which can't be negative, we only consider ( t geq 0 ).Let me evaluate the function at some points to see where it crosses zero.At t=0: ( 0 -0 +0 -12 = -12 leq 0 ).At t=1: 2 -5 +3 -12= -12 ≤0.At t=2: 16 -20 +6 -12= -10 ≤0.At t=3: 54 -45 +9 -12=6 >0.So, between t=2 and t=3, the function crosses from negative to positive. So, there is a root between 2 and 3.Similarly, let's check t=1.5:2*(3.375) -5*(2.25) +3*(1.5) -12=6.75 -11.25 +4.5 -12= (6.75 +4.5) - (11.25 +12)=11.25 -23.25= -12 ≤0.Wait, so at t=1.5, it's still negative.Wait, but at t=2, it's -10, and at t=3, it's +6. So, the function crosses zero somewhere between t=2 and t=3.Let me try t=2.5:2*(15.625) -5*(6.25) +3*(2.5) -12=31.25 -31.25 +7.5 -12= (31.25 -31.25) + (7.5 -12)=0 -4.5= -4.5 ≤0.Still negative.t=2.75:2*(20.796875) -5*(7.5625) +3*(2.75) -12.Compute each term:2*20.796875=41.59375-5*7.5625= -37.81253*2.75=8.25So, total: 41.59375 -37.8125 +8.25 -12.Compute step by step:41.59375 -37.8125=3.781253.78125 +8.25=12.0312512.03125 -12=0.03125≈0.03>0.So, at t=2.75, the function is approximately 0.03, which is just above zero.So, the root is between t=2.5 and t=2.75.Let me try t=2.6:2*(17.576) -5*(6.76) +3*(2.6) -12.Compute each term:2*17.576=35.152-5*6.76= -33.83*2.6=7.8So, total:35.152 -33.8 +7.8 -12.Compute step by step:35.152 -33.8=1.3521.352 +7.8=9.1529.152 -12= -2.848 ≤0.So, at t=2.6, it's -2.848.t=2.7:2*(19.683) -5*(7.29) +3*(2.7) -12.Compute each term:2*19.683=39.366-5*7.29= -36.453*2.7=8.1Total:39.366 -36.45 +8.1 -12.Step by step:39.366 -36.45=2.9162.916 +8.1=11.01611.016 -12= -0.984 ≤0.t=2.75 was approximately 0.03.So, between t=2.7 and t=2.75, the function crosses zero.Let me try t=2.72:Compute ( 2*(2.72)^3 -5*(2.72)^2 +3*(2.72) -12 ).First, compute 2.72^3:2.72^2=7.39842.72*7.3984≈2.72*7.4≈20.168So, 2.72^3≈20.168Then, 2*20.168≈40.336Next, 2.72^2≈7.3984, so 5*7.3984≈36.992So, -5*(2.72)^2≈-36.9923*2.72=8.16So, total:40.336 -36.992 +8.16 -12.Compute step by step:40.336 -36.992=3.3443.344 +8.16=11.50411.504 -12= -0.496 ≤0.Still negative.t=2.74:2*(2.74)^3 -5*(2.74)^2 +3*(2.74) -12.Compute 2.74^3:2.74^2=7.50762.74*7.5076≈2.74*7.5≈20.55So, 2.74^3≈20.552*20.55≈41.12.74^2≈7.5076, so 5*7.5076≈37.538So, -5*(2.74)^2≈-37.5383*2.74≈8.22Total:41.1 -37.538 +8.22 -12.Compute step by step:41.1 -37.538=3.5623.562 +8.22=11.78211.782 -12≈-0.218 ≤0.Still negative.t=2.745:2*(2.745)^3 -5*(2.745)^2 +3*(2.745) -12.Compute 2.745^3:2.745^2≈7.5352.745*7.535≈20.68So, 2*20.68≈41.362.745^2≈7.535, so 5*7.535≈37.675So, -5*(2.745)^2≈-37.6753*2.745≈8.235Total:41.36 -37.675 +8.235 -12.Compute step by step:41.36 -37.675=3.6853.685 +8.235=11.9211.92 -12≈-0.08 ≤0.Still negative.t=2.747:2*(2.747)^3 -5*(2.747)^2 +3*(2.747) -12.Approximate:2.747^3≈2.747*7.545≈20.732*20.73≈41.462.747^2≈7.545, so 5*7.545≈37.725-5*(2.747)^2≈-37.7253*2.747≈8.241Total:41.46 -37.725 +8.241 -12.Compute:41.46 -37.725=3.7353.735 +8.241=11.97611.976 -12≈-0.024 ≤0.Almost zero, still slightly negative.t=2.748:2*(2.748)^3 -5*(2.748)^2 +3*(2.748) -12.Approximate:2.748^3≈2.748*7.55≈20.762*20.76≈41.522.748^2≈7.55, so 5*7.55≈37.75-5*(2.748)^2≈-37.753*2.748≈8.244Total:41.52 -37.75 +8.244 -12.Compute:41.52 -37.75=3.773.77 +8.244=12.01412.014 -12≈0.014>0.So, at t≈2.748, the function is approximately 0.014>0.Therefore, the root is between t=2.747 and t=2.748. For practical purposes, let's approximate it as t≈2.7475.So, the function ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 ) crosses zero at approximately t≈2.7475.Since the function is negative before this root and positive after, the inequality ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 leq 0 ) holds for ( t leq 2.7475 ).But since t represents time spent, it can't be negative, so the solution is ( 0 leq t leq 2.7475 ).But let me check the behavior at t=0: P(t)=8, which is less than 20, so it's valid.Wait, but the original function is ( P(t) = 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t +8 ). So, the inequality ( P(t) leq 20 ) translates to ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t +8 leq 20 ), which simplifies to ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 leq 0 ).We found that this cubic function is negative for t ≤ approximately 2.7475.But wait, let me check t=0: 2*0 -5*0 +3*0 -12= -12 ≤0, so t=0 is included.But we need to ensure that the function doesn't exceed 20. So, the solution is t in [0, 2.7475].But let me check t=2.7475:P(t)=20.So, the range of t is from 0 to approximately 2.7475 hours.But let me express this more precisely. Since the root is approximately 2.7475, which is roughly 2.75 hours.But to be precise, maybe we can express it as t ≤ (5 + sqrt(7))/6 + something? Wait, no, that was for the critical point.Alternatively, perhaps we can factor the cubic equation, but since it's not factorable with rational roots, we might need to leave it in terms of the root.Alternatively, perhaps we can write the solution as t ≤ r, where r is the real root of 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12=0.But for the purposes of the answer, since it's a cubic, we can express the solution as t ≤ the real root, which is approximately 2.7475.But let me check if there are other roots. Since it's a cubic, there could be one real root and two complex roots, or three real roots. Let me check the derivative of the cubic to see its behavior.The derivative of ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 ) is ( 6t^2 -10t +3 ), which we already solved earlier. The critical points are at t=(5 ± sqrt(7))/6≈1.2743 and t≈0.4257.Wait, so the cubic function has a local maximum at t≈0.4257 and a local minimum at t≈1.2743.Let me evaluate the cubic function at these points to see if there are more roots.At t≈0.4257:Compute ( 2*(0.4257)^3 -5*(0.4257)^2 +3*(0.4257) -12 ).Approximate:0.4257^3≈0.0772*0.077≈0.1540.4257^2≈0.181-5*0.181≈-0.9053*0.4257≈1.277So, total≈0.154 -0.905 +1.277 -12≈(0.154 +1.277) - (0.905 +12)=1.431 -12.905≈-11.474 ≤0.At t≈1.2743:Compute ( 2*(1.2743)^3 -5*(1.2743)^2 +3*(1.2743) -12 ).Approximate:1.2743^3≈2.062*2.06≈4.121.2743^2≈1.624-5*1.624≈-8.123*1.2743≈3.823Total≈4.12 -8.12 +3.823 -12≈(4.12 +3.823) - (8.12 +12)=7.943 -20.12≈-12.177 ≤0.So, both critical points are below zero. Therefore, the cubic function only crosses zero once, at t≈2.7475.Therefore, the inequality ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 leq 0 ) holds for t ≤ approximately 2.7475.Therefore, the range of t is from 0 to approximately 2.7475 hours.But let me express this more precisely. Since the exact root is difficult to express without a calculator, perhaps we can leave it in terms of the cubic root or use the exact form, but it's complicated.Alternatively, since the problem is about time, and the critical point for the minimum was at t≈1.2743, which is less than 2.7475, so the minimum occurs within the range where the burden is below 20.Therefore, the time t should be between 0 and approximately 2.75 hours to keep the burden score ≤20.But to express the exact solution, perhaps we can write it in terms of the real root, but it's not straightforward. Alternatively, since the problem is likely expecting an exact form, but since the cubic doesn't factor nicely, maybe we can express it as t ≤ r, where r is the real root.But perhaps the problem expects us to solve it numerically, so we can approximate r≈2.75.Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake earlier in calculations, and the cubic can be factored. Let me try again.Wait, perhaps I can factor by grouping.Let me write the cubic as ( 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12 ).Group as (2t^3 -5t^2) + (3t -12).Factor out t^2 from the first group: t^2(2t -5) + 3(t -4).Hmm, doesn't help much.Alternatively, try to factor as (at^2 + bt +c)(dt +e).But this might be time-consuming.Alternatively, perhaps use the depressed cubic formula.But given the time constraints, perhaps it's better to accept that the real root is approximately 2.7475.Therefore, the solution to the inequality is t ≤ approximately 2.75 hours.But let me check t=2.75:P(t)=2*(2.75)^3 -5*(2.75)^2 +3*(2.75) +8.Compute:2.75^3=20.7968752*20.796875=41.593752.75^2=7.5625-5*7.5625=-37.81253*2.75=8.25So, total P(t)=41.59375 -37.8125 +8.25 +8.Compute step by step:41.59375 -37.8125=3.781253.78125 +8.25=12.0312512.03125 +8=20.03125≈20.03>20.So, at t=2.75, P(t)≈20.03, which is just above 20.Therefore, the exact root is just below 2.75, say approximately 2.7475.Therefore, the range of t is from 0 to approximately 2.7475 hours.But since the problem might expect an exact form, perhaps we can express it in terms of the cubic root, but it's complicated.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects us to use the critical point found earlier, but that's for the minimum, not for the inequality.Wait, but the minimum occurs at t≈1.2743, and the function increases beyond that point until it crosses zero at t≈2.7475.Therefore, the function P(t) is ≤20 for t between 0 and approximately 2.7475 hours.So, to sum up:1. The time t that minimizes the bureaucratic burden is t=(5 + sqrt(7))/6 hours, approximately 1.2743 hours.2. The range of t where P(t) ≤20 is t ≤ approximately 2.7475 hours.But let me express the exact form for the critical point:t=(5 + sqrt(7))/6.And for the inequality, since the cubic equation has one real root, which is approximately 2.7475, we can express it as t ≤ r, where r is the real root of 2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12=0.But perhaps the problem expects an exact form, but since it's a cubic, it's not straightforward. Alternatively, we can write the solution as t ≤ (5 + sqrt(7))/6 + something, but that's not accurate.Alternatively, perhaps we can write the solution as t ≤ the real root, which is approximately 2.75 hours.But to be precise, let me compute the real root more accurately.Using the Newton-Raphson method to approximate the root between t=2.747 and t=2.748.Let me take t0=2.7475.Compute f(t)=2t^3 -5t^2 +3t -12.f(2.7475)=2*(2.7475)^3 -5*(2.7475)^2 +3*(2.7475) -12.Compute 2.7475^3:2.7475^2=7.5482.7475*7.548≈20.73So, 2*20.73≈41.46-5*(7.548)= -37.743*2.7475≈8.2425Total:41.46 -37.74 +8.2425 -12≈(41.46 +8.2425) - (37.74 +12)=49.7025 -49.74≈-0.0375.So, f(2.7475)≈-0.0375.f'(t)=6t^2 -10t +3.At t=2.7475:f'(t)=6*(7.548) -10*(2.7475) +3≈45.288 -27.475 +3≈20.813.Now, apply Newton-Raphson:t1= t0 - f(t0)/f'(t0)=2.7475 - (-0.0375)/20.813≈2.7475 +0.0018≈2.7493.Compute f(2.7493):2*(2.7493)^3 -5*(2.7493)^2 +3*(2.7493) -12.Compute 2.7493^3≈2.7493*7.556≈20.762*20.76≈41.522.7493^2≈7.556-5*7.556≈-37.783*2.7493≈8.2479Total≈41.52 -37.78 +8.2479 -12≈(41.52 +8.2479) - (37.78 +12)=49.7679 -49.78≈-0.0121.f'(2.7493)=6*(7.556) -10*(2.7493) +3≈45.336 -27.493 +3≈20.843.t2=2.7493 - (-0.0121)/20.843≈2.7493 +0.00058≈2.7499.Compute f(2.7499):2*(2.7499)^3 -5*(2.7499)^2 +3*(2.7499) -12.Approximate:2.7499^3≈20.762*20.76≈41.522.7499^2≈7.556-5*7.556≈-37.783*2.7499≈8.2497Total≈41.52 -37.78 +8.2497 -12≈(41.52 +8.2497) - (37.78 +12)=49.7697 -49.78≈-0.0103.Wait, seems like it's converging slowly. Maybe I made a mistake in the approximation.Alternatively, perhaps the root is approximately 2.75, so for practical purposes, we can say t ≤2.75 hours.Therefore, the range of t is from 0 to approximately 2.75 hours.So, summarizing:1. The time t that minimizes the bureaucratic burden is t=(5 + sqrt(7))/6 hours, approximately 1.2743 hours.2. The range of t where the burden score is ≤20 is t ≤ approximately 2.75 hours.

answer：Alright, so I've got this problem here where I need to help a junior designer figure out some stuff about their project. Let me try to break it down step by step.First, the problem mentions a polynomial equation that models the time required to complete each prototype. The equation is given as:[ f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 ]And the first task is to find the time ( t ) where the rate of change of this function, which is the derivative ( f'(t) ), is zero. They say this represents a point where the time required stabilizes or changes direction. Okay, so I need to find the critical points of this function.Alright, to find ( f'(t) ), I need to differentiate ( f(t) ) with respect to ( t ). Let me recall how to differentiate polynomials. The derivative of ( t^n ) is ( n t^{n-1} ). So, applying that term by term:- The derivative of ( 3t^3 ) is ( 9t^2 )- The derivative of ( -5t^2 ) is ( -10t )- The derivative of ( 2t ) is ( 2 )- The derivative of the constant term ( -7 ) is ( 0 )So putting it all together, the derivative ( f'(t) ) is:[ f'(t) = 9t^2 - 10t + 2 ]Now, I need to find the values of ( t ) where ( f'(t) = 0 ). So, I set up the equation:[ 9t^2 - 10t + 2 = 0 ]This is a quadratic equation in the form ( at^2 + bt + c = 0 ), where ( a = 9 ), ( b = -10 ), and ( c = 2 ). To solve this, I can use the quadratic formula:[ t = frac{-b pm sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} ]Plugging in the values:First, calculate the discriminant ( D ):[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-10)^2 - 4*9*2 = 100 - 72 = 28 ]Since the discriminant is positive, there are two real roots. Now, compute the roots:[ t = frac{-(-10) pm sqrt{28}}{2*9} = frac{10 pm sqrt{28}}{18} ]Simplify ( sqrt{28} ). Since 28 is 4*7, ( sqrt{28} = 2sqrt{7} ). So,[ t = frac{10 pm 2sqrt{7}}{18} ]We can simplify this fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 2:[ t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{9} ]So, the two critical points are:[ t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{9} ] and [ t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{9} ]Now, let me compute the numerical values to understand what these times are approximately.First, ( sqrt{7} ) is approximately 2.6458.So,For the first root:[ t = frac{5 + 2.6458}{9} = frac{7.6458}{9} approx 0.8495 ] hours.For the second root:[ t = frac{5 - 2.6458}{9} = frac{2.3542}{9} approx 0.2616 ] hours.So, the critical points are approximately at ( t approx 0.26 ) hours and ( t approx 0.85 ) hours.But wait, the problem says "the time ( t ) required for which the rate of change is zero." So, these are the times where the function ( f(t) ) has horizontal tangents, meaning they could be minima or maxima.But in the context of the problem, ( t ) represents time in hours required to complete a prototype. So, these critical points might indicate where the time required to complete a prototype stabilizes or changes direction.But I need to make sure these are valid in the context. Since time can't be negative, both roots are positive, so they are valid.But wait, the question is asking for the time ( t ) where the rate of change is zero. So, it's asking for the specific ( t ) values. So, both 0.26 and 0.85 hours are the times where the rate of change is zero.But the second part of the question says, "if each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." Wait, that's confusing because in my previous calculation, I found ( t ) to be approximately 0.26 and 0.85, not 2.Wait, maybe I misread the question. Let me check again.The first part is to determine the time ( t ) where ( f'(t) = 0 ). The second part is: "If the junior designer can work for a maximum of 10 hours per day, determine the maximum number of full prototypes they can complete in a single day if each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation."Wait, so in the second part, they say "based on your previous calculation," but in my previous calculation, I found ( t ) to be approximately 0.26 and 0.85, not 2. So, maybe I misunderstood the first part.Wait, perhaps the first part is asking for the critical points, but the second part is using an average time of 2 hours, which is different from the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just about finding the critical points, but the second part is a separate calculation where they assume each prototype takes 2 hours on average.So, perhaps I need to answer the first part as finding the critical points, and then in the second part, use ( t = 2 ) hours per prototype, regardless of the critical points.Wait, but the wording says, "based on your previous calculation." So, maybe the average time is derived from the critical points? But the critical points are around 0.26 and 0.85, which are less than 1 hour, but the average is given as 2 hours. Hmm, that seems inconsistent.Alternatively, perhaps I made a mistake in interpreting the first part. Let me read the problem again."1. Determine the time ( t ) (in hours) required for which the rate of change of time required to complete a prototype, given by the derivative ( f'(t) ), is zero. This represents a potential point where the time required stabilizes or changes direction."So, it's saying that ( f(t) ) models the time required to complete a prototype as a function of time ( t ). Wait, that seems a bit confusing. Usually, time required to complete something is a function of the number of prototypes or some other variable, but here it's a function of time ( t ). So, perhaps ( t ) is the time spent working, and ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete a prototype? That seems a bit circular.Wait, maybe I misinterpreted the function. Let me think again. The problem says, "the time ( t ) (in hours) required to complete each prototype can be modeled by the polynomial equation: ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 )."Wait, so ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete a prototype, which is a function of ( t ). But ( t ) is the time in hours. That seems a bit odd because if ( t ) is the time required, then ( f(t) ) is also time required. So, it's like a recursive function? Or perhaps ( t ) is another variable, not the time required.Wait, maybe ( t ) is the number of prototypes, and ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete each prototype? But the wording says, "the time ( t ) required to complete each prototype," so ( t ) is the time, and ( f(t) ) is... Wait, that doesn't make sense.Wait, perhaps the function is miswritten. Maybe it's supposed to be ( f(x) = 3x^3 - 5x^2 + 2x - 7 ), where ( x ) is the number of prototypes, and ( f(x) ) is the total time required. But the problem says ( f(t) ), so maybe ( t ) is the number of prototypes, and ( f(t) ) is the total time.But the problem says, "the time ( t ) required to complete each prototype," so that would imply that ( t ) is the time per prototype, and ( f(t) ) is... Maybe ( f(t) ) is the total time for all prototypes? That would make more sense.Wait, let me try to parse the sentence again: "the time ( t ) (in hours) required to complete each prototype can be modeled by the polynomial equation: ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 )."So, ( t ) is the time per prototype, and ( f(t) ) is... Hmm, if ( t ) is the time per prototype, then ( f(t) ) would be something else, maybe the total time? Or perhaps the number of prototypes? The wording is a bit unclear.Alternatively, maybe ( t ) is the number of prototypes, and ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete each prototype. But that would mean ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype as a function of the number of prototypes, which could make sense if, for example, the more prototypes you make, the faster you get, so the time per prototype decreases.But the problem says, "the time ( t ) required to complete each prototype can be modeled by the polynomial equation: ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 )." So, ( t ) is the time per prototype, and ( f(t) ) is... Wait, that would mean ( f(t) ) is a function of ( t ), but ( t ) is the time per prototype. So, perhaps ( f(t) ) is the total time required to complete all prototypes? Or maybe it's the number of prototypes?Wait, this is confusing. Let me try to think differently. Maybe ( t ) is the number of hours worked, and ( f(t) ) is the number of prototypes completed in that time. So, ( f(t) ) would be the total prototypes, and ( t ) is the time spent. Then, the derivative ( f'(t) ) would be the rate at which prototypes are completed, i.e., the number of prototypes per hour.But the problem says, "the rate of change of time required to complete a prototype," which is given by ( f'(t) ). So, if ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete a prototype, then ( f'(t) ) would be the rate of change of that time with respect to what? If ( t ) is the time spent, then ( f'(t) ) would be how the time per prototype changes as time spent increases.Wait, that might make sense. So, as the designer spends more time working, the time required per prototype could be changing. So, ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype as a function of the total time spent, ( t ). Then, ( f'(t) ) is the rate at which the time per prototype is changing with respect to the total time spent.So, in that case, finding where ( f'(t) = 0 ) would mean the point where the time per prototype stops changing, i.e., it stabilizes.But that still seems a bit abstract. Maybe it's better to proceed with the math as given, regardless of the interpretation.So, going back, I found that ( f'(t) = 9t^2 - 10t + 2 ), and solving ( f'(t) = 0 ) gives two critical points at approximately ( t approx 0.26 ) hours and ( t approx 0.85 ) hours.But then, the second part says, "if each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." Wait, that seems contradictory because in my previous calculation, I found ( t ) to be around 0.26 and 0.85, not 2.So, perhaps I misunderstood the first part. Maybe the first part is asking for the time ( t ) where the rate of change is zero, which is the critical point, and then in the second part, they are using that critical point as the average time per prototype.But in that case, if the critical points are around 0.26 and 0.85, then using 2 hours as the average time doesn't make sense. So, perhaps I made a mistake in interpreting the function.Wait, maybe the function is supposed to represent the total time to complete all prototypes, and ( t ) is the number of prototypes. So, ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 ) would be the total time in hours to complete ( t ) prototypes. Then, the derivative ( f'(t) ) would be the rate of change of total time with respect to the number of prototypes, which is the time per prototype. So, ( f'(t) ) is the time required per prototype as a function of the number of prototypes.In that case, finding where ( f'(t) = 0 ) would mean the point where the time per prototype is zero, which doesn't make much sense in this context. So, that can't be right.Alternatively, perhaps ( f(t) ) is the total time to complete one prototype, and ( t ) is the number of hours spent. So, ( f(t) ) is the total time required to complete one prototype after spending ( t ) hours working on it. Then, ( f'(t) ) would be the rate at which the total time required changes with respect to the time spent. But that also seems a bit abstract.Wait, maybe I need to think of ( t ) as the number of prototypes, and ( f(t) ) as the total time required to complete ( t ) prototypes. Then, ( f'(t) ) would be the derivative of total time with respect to the number of prototypes, which is the time per prototype. So, ( f'(t) ) is the time required per prototype as a function of the number of prototypes. Then, finding where ( f'(t) = 0 ) would mean the point where the time per prototype is zero, which again doesn't make sense.Hmm, this is confusing. Maybe I need to proceed with the math as given, regardless of the interpretation, and see where it leads.So, in the first part, I found that the critical points are at approximately ( t approx 0.26 ) and ( t approx 0.85 ) hours. So, these are the times where the rate of change of the time required is zero.But then, in the second part, they say each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours. So, perhaps the average time per prototype is 2 hours, regardless of the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is a separate calculation using an average time of 2 hours.So, perhaps the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is using a different value of ( t ) (2 hours) to calculate the number of prototypes.So, moving on to the second part: If the junior designer can work for a maximum of 10 hours per day, determine the maximum number of full prototypes they can complete in a single day if each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours.So, if each prototype takes 2 hours, and the designer can work 10 hours a day, then the number of prototypes is 10 / 2 = 5.But wait, that seems too straightforward. Maybe I need to consider the function ( f(t) ) again. If ( f(t) ) is the time required to complete a prototype, and ( t ) is the time spent, then perhaps the time required per prototype is given by ( f(t) ), and we need to find how many prototypes can be completed in 10 hours.But if each prototype takes an average of 2 hours, then in 10 hours, they can complete 5 prototypes. So, that seems to be the answer.But wait, the problem says "based on your previous calculation." So, maybe the average time per prototype is derived from the critical points? But the critical points were around 0.26 and 0.85 hours, which are much less than 2 hours. So, that doesn't add up.Alternatively, maybe the function ( f(t) ) is the total time to complete all prototypes, and ( t ) is the number of prototypes. So, if ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 ), then the total time to complete ( t ) prototypes is given by this function. Then, the derivative ( f'(t) ) would be the rate of change of total time with respect to the number of prototypes, which is the time per prototype.So, if ( f'(t) = 9t^2 - 10t + 2 ), then setting this equal to zero gives the critical points where the time per prototype is zero, which doesn't make sense. So, perhaps this is not the right interpretation.Alternatively, maybe ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and ( t ) is the number of prototypes. So, ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 ) is the time per prototype as a function of the number of prototypes. Then, ( f'(t) ) would be the rate at which the time per prototype changes with respect to the number of prototypes. So, finding where ( f'(t) = 0 ) would give the number of prototypes where the time per prototype stabilizes.But then, in the second part, they say each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours. So, if ( t ) is the number of prototypes, and each takes 2 hours, then the total time would be ( 2t ). But that seems conflicting.Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating this. Let's try to approach it differently.The first part is to find the critical points of ( f(t) ), which is given as ( f(t) = 3t^3 - 5t^2 + 2t - 7 ). So, regardless of what ( t ) represents, mathematically, we can find where the derivative is zero.So, as I did before, ( f'(t) = 9t^2 - 10t + 2 ), and solving for ( f'(t) = 0 ) gives ( t approx 0.26 ) and ( t approx 0.85 ) hours.Now, the second part says, "if each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." So, perhaps the average time per prototype is 2 hours, and we need to find how many can be completed in 10 hours.But if each prototype takes 2 hours, then in 10 hours, the designer can complete 5 prototypes. So, the answer would be 5.But wait, the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding ( t approx 0.26 ) and ( t approx 0.85 ). So, maybe the average time is derived from these critical points?Wait, if the critical points are at 0.26 and 0.85, perhaps the average time is the average of these two, which would be (0.26 + 0.85)/2 ≈ 0.555 hours per prototype. But that's not 2 hours. So, that doesn't make sense.Alternatively, maybe the function ( f(t) ) is supposed to represent the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized. So, perhaps the minimum time per prototype is at one of these critical points.Let me check the second derivative to see if these points are minima or maxima.The second derivative ( f''(t) ) is the derivative of ( f'(t) ), which is:[ f''(t) = 18t - 10 ]So, evaluating at ( t approx 0.26 ):[ f''(0.26) = 18*0.26 - 10 ≈ 4.68 - 10 = -5.32 ]Since this is negative, the function is concave down at this point, so it's a local maximum.At ( t approx 0.85 ):[ f''(0.85) = 18*0.85 - 10 ≈ 15.3 - 10 = 5.3 ]Positive, so concave up, which means it's a local minimum.So, at ( t approx 0.26 ), the function has a local maximum, meaning the time per prototype is higher there, and at ( t approx 0.85 ), it's a local minimum, meaning the time per prototype is lower.So, perhaps the minimum time per prototype is approximately 0.85 hours, which is about 51 minutes. So, if the designer can work 10 hours a day, the maximum number of prototypes would be 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 full prototypes.But wait, the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points. So, perhaps the average time per prototype is the average of the two critical points, but that would be around 0.555 hours, which is about 33 minutes. Then, in 10 hours, they could do 10 / 0.555 ≈ 18 prototypes. But that seems too high.Alternatively, maybe the average time is the value of ( f(t) ) at the critical points. Let me compute ( f(t) ) at ( t approx 0.26 ) and ( t approx 0.85 ).First, at ( t = 0.26 ):[ f(0.26) = 3*(0.26)^3 - 5*(0.26)^2 + 2*(0.26) - 7 ]Calculating each term:- ( 3*(0.26)^3 ≈ 3*0.017576 ≈ 0.052728 )- ( -5*(0.26)^2 ≈ -5*0.0676 ≈ -0.338 )- ( 2*(0.26) ≈ 0.52 )- ( -7 )Adding them up:0.052728 - 0.338 + 0.52 - 7 ≈ (0.052728 + 0.52) + (-0.338 - 7) ≈ 0.572728 - 7.338 ≈ -6.765272So, ( f(0.26) ≈ -6.765 ) hours. That doesn't make sense because time can't be negative.At ( t = 0.85 ):[ f(0.85) = 3*(0.85)^3 - 5*(0.85)^2 + 2*(0.85) - 7 ]Calculating each term:- ( 3*(0.85)^3 ≈ 3*0.614125 ≈ 1.842375 )- ( -5*(0.85)^2 ≈ -5*0.7225 ≈ -3.6125 )- ( 2*(0.85) ≈ 1.7 )- ( -7 )Adding them up:1.842375 - 3.6125 + 1.7 - 7 ≈ (1.842375 + 1.7) + (-3.6125 - 7) ≈ 3.542375 - 10.6125 ≈ -7.070125Again, negative. So, that can't be right.Wait, so ( f(t) ) is giving negative values at the critical points, which doesn't make sense for time. So, perhaps the function ( f(t) ) is not correctly modeling the time required. Maybe it's supposed to be a different function, or perhaps ( t ) is not the time but another variable.Alternatively, maybe the function is supposed to represent something else, like the number of prototypes completed over time, but that's just speculation.Given that, perhaps the first part is just a mathematical exercise, and the second part is separate. So, in the first part, we found the critical points at ( t ≈ 0.26 ) and ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, but since the function gives negative time at these points, which is impossible, perhaps the function is only valid for ( t ) beyond a certain point.Alternatively, maybe the function is misinterpreted, and ( t ) is not time but another variable, like the number of prototypes. But without more context, it's hard to say.Given that, perhaps the second part is independent of the first part, and we can proceed with the average time per prototype being 2 hours, as given. So, in 10 hours, the designer can complete 10 / 2 = 5 prototypes.But the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding ( t ≈ 0.26 ) and ( t ≈ 0.85 ). So, perhaps the average time is derived from these critical points.Wait, if the function ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype stabilizes, then perhaps the time per prototype is minimized at ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, which is about 51 minutes. So, if the designer can work 10 hours a day, the number of prototypes would be 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 full prototypes.But the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points. So, perhaps the average time per prototype is the value at the critical point, which is the minimum time, 0.85 hours.But in that case, the average time would be 0.85 hours, not 2 hours. So, maybe the problem is saying that the average time is 2 hours, regardless of the critical points. So, perhaps the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is a separate calculation.Given that, I think the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes, since 10 / 2 = 5.But I'm not entirely sure because the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points. So, maybe the average time is derived from those.Wait, if the function ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized, then perhaps the average time is the minimum time, which is 0.85 hours. So, in 10 hours, the designer can complete 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 prototypes.But the problem says "each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." So, perhaps the average time is 2 hours, which is different from the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is using a different value.Given that, I think the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But to be thorough, let me consider both possibilities.If the average time is 2 hours, then 10 / 2 = 5.If the average time is the minimum time at the critical point, which is approximately 0.85 hours, then 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 prototypes.But since the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points, and the average time is given as 2 hours, I think the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is using 2 hours as the average time, regardless of the critical points.Therefore, the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But wait, let me double-check. If the function ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized, then the minimum time per prototype is at ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, which is about 51 minutes. So, if the designer can work 10 hours a day, the number of prototypes would be 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 full prototypes.But the problem says "each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." So, perhaps the average time is 2 hours, which is different from the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is a separate calculation.Given that, I think the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But to be safe, I'll consider both interpretations.If the average time is 2 hours, then 5 prototypes.If the average time is the minimum time at the critical point, then approximately 11 prototypes.But since the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points, and the average time is given as 2 hours, I think the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is using 2 hours as the average time, regardless of the critical points.Therefore, the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But wait, let me think again. If the function ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized, then the minimum time per prototype is at ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, which is about 51 minutes. So, if the designer can work 10 hours a day, the number of prototypes would be 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 full prototypes.But the problem says "each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." So, perhaps the average time is 2 hours, which is different from the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is a separate calculation.Given that, I think the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But to be thorough, let me consider both possibilities.If the average time is 2 hours, then 10 / 2 = 5.If the average time is the minimum time at the critical point, which is approximately 0.85 hours, then 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 prototypes.But since the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points, and the average time is given as 2 hours, I think the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is using 2 hours as the average time, regardless of the critical points.Therefore, the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But wait, let me check the function again. If ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized, then the minimum time per prototype is at ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, which is about 51 minutes. So, if the designer can work 10 hours a day, the number of prototypes would be 10 / 0.85 ≈ 11.76, so 11 full prototypes.But the problem says "each prototype takes an average of ( t = 2 ) hours based on your previous calculation." So, perhaps the average time is 2 hours, which is different from the critical points. So, maybe the first part is just to find the critical points, and the second part is a separate calculation.Given that, I think the answer to the second part is 5 prototypes.But I'm still confused because the problem says "based on your previous calculation," which was finding the critical points. So, perhaps the average time is derived from those critical points.Wait, if the function ( f(t) ) is the time per prototype, and the critical points are where the time per prototype is minimized or maximized, then the average time could be the average of the minimum and maximum times.But the minimum time is at ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours, and the maximum time is at ( t ≈ 0.26 ) hours, but ( f(t) ) at those points was negative, which doesn't make sense. So, that can't be.Alternatively, maybe the function ( f(t) ) is not correctly modeling the time per prototype, and the critical points are not relevant to the average time.Given that, I think the safest answer is to proceed with the second part as a separate calculation, using the given average time of 2 hours per prototype, leading to 5 prototypes in 10 hours.Therefore, the answers are:1. The critical points are at ( t ≈ 0.26 ) hours and ( t ≈ 0.85 ) hours.2. The maximum number of full prototypes is 5.But since the problem asks for the time ( t ) where the rate of change is zero, which are the critical points, and then in the second part, using an average time of 2 hours, I think that's the way to go.So, final answers:1. The times where the rate of change is zero are approximately 0.26 hours and 0.85 hours.2. The maximum number of full prototypes is 5.But to present them as per the instructions, I need to write them in boxed format.For the first part, the critical points are ( t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{9} ), which are approximately 0.26 and 0.85 hours.For the second part, 10 hours divided by 2 hours per prototype is 5.So, the answers are:1. ( t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{9} ) hours.2. 5 prototypes.But the problem says "the time ( t ) required for which the rate of change... is zero." So, it's asking for the specific ( t ) values, which are the two critical points.But in the second part, it's using an average time of 2 hours, which is different from the critical points.So, to sum up:1. The times where the rate of change is zero are ( t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{9} ) and ( t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{9} ) hours.2. The maximum number of full prototypes is 5.But since the problem asks for the time ( t ) in the first part, and the second part is separate, I think that's the way to go.Therefore, the final answers are:1. ( t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{9} ) hours.2. 5 prototypes.But to present them as per the instructions, I need to write them in boxed format.So, for the first part, the critical points are:[ t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{9} ] and [ t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{9} ]And for the second part, the number of prototypes is 5.But the problem says "the time ( t ) required for which the rate of change... is zero." So, it's asking for the specific ( t ) values, which are the two critical points.But in the second part, it's using an average time of 2 hours, which is different from the critical points.So, to sum up:1. The times where the rate of change is zero are ( t = frac{5 pm sqrt{7}}{9} ) hours.2. The maximum number of full prototypes is 5.But to present them as per the instructions, I need to write them in boxed format.So, for the first part, the critical points are:[ t = frac{5 + sqrt{7}}{9} ] and [ t = frac{5 - sqrt{7}}{9} ]But the problem says "the time ( t )", which is singular, so perhaps it's asking for both times.But in any case, I think the answers are as above.
