Question: CRIME RATES The number of major crimes committed in the city of Bronxville between 2000 and 2007 is approximated by the function

N(t) = -0.1t³ + 1.5t² + 100          (0 ≤ t ≤ 7)

Where N(t) denotes the number of crimes committed in year t (t = 0 corresponds to 2000). Enraged by the dramatic increase in the crime rate, the citizens of Bronxville, with the help of the local police, organized "Neighborhood Crime Watch" groups in early 2004 to combat this menace . Show that the growth in the crime rate was maximal in 2005, giving credence to the claim that the Neighborhood Crime Watch program was working.
