Expert Solution
Step 1

For the first option, enter the function,f(t)=33.67(e-0.0075731t-e-0.12043t) in any graphing utility to obtain the graph.

For the second option, find the maximum value of f(t) on the graph.

For the third option, substitute f(t)=7.5 in the equation f(t)=33.67(e-0.0075731t-e-0.12043t) and solve for t .

For the last option, find the value of t at which the line  f(t)=20 crosses the graph of f(t)=33.67(e-0.0075731t-e-0.12043t) for the first time.
