A gasoline storage tank is filled by a pipeline from a refinery. At the same time, gasoline flows from the tank into trucks that will make deliveries to gasoline stations. The amount of gasoline in the storage tank at time t is given by the twice-differentiable function G, where t is measured in hours and 0≤t≤10. Values of G(t), in thousands of gallons, at selected times t are given in the table above. It is known that G′′(t)>0 for 5≤t<10. (b)   For 0

Question

A gasoline storage tank is filled by a pipeline from a refinery. At the same time, gasoline flows from the tank into trucks that will make deliveries to gasoline stations. The amount of gasoline in the storage tank at time t is given by the twice-differentiable function G, where t is measured in hours and 0≤t≤10. Values of G(t), in thousands of gallons, at selected times t are given in the table above. It is known that G′′(t)>0 for 5≤t<10.

(b)   For 0<t<10, is there a time t at which G(t) is increasing at a rate of 0.2 thousand gallons per hour? Justify your answer.
