Fund F accumulates at a rate of δF  t = 1/1 + t . Fund G accumulates at the rate of δGt = 4t/1 + 2t2 . Let F (t) and G(t) denote the amount in fund F and the amount in fund G respectively at time t withF (0) = G(0). Define a new function H(t) by H(t) = F (t) − G(t). Use Calculus to find the time twhen the function H(t) is a maximum.

Question

Fund F accumulates at a rate of δF  t = 1/1 + t . Fund G accumulates at the rate of δG
t = 4t/1 + 2t2 . Let F (t) and G(t) denote the amount in fund F and the amount in fund G respectively at time t with
F (0) = G(0). Define a new function H(t) by H(t) = F (t) − G(t). Use Calculus to find the time t
when the function H(t) is a maximum.
