According to a certain estimate, the depth N(t), in centimeters, of the water in a certain tank at t hours past 2:00 in the morning is given by N(t)= -20(t - 5)^2 + 500 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10. According to this estimate, at what time in the morning does the depth of the water in the tank reach its maximum?
a) 5:30
b) 7:00
c) 7:30
d) 8:00
e) 9:00
Since -20(t - 5)^2, will be a nonpositive number, its maximum value is 0 when t = 5, and the maximum value of the function will then be:
N(5) = -20(5
