Suppose a machine is invented to measure the amount of knowledge in a student’s head in units called “factoids.” One student is measured at F(t) = t³ − 6t² + 9t factoids at time t, where t is measured in weeks. a. Find the rate at which the student is gaining (or losing) knowledge as a function of time (be sure to give the units). b. During what time between t = 0 and 11 is the student losing knowledge? c. Sketch a graph of the function F(t).
