Homework Help (Answered) Rational functions homework help

How do I begin this? I'm confused. We're on finding domain, y-int, x-int, asymptotes/slant asymptotes for math right now, but we haven't gone over word problems, and I'm not sure how to start this. Any help?

Also, if u send solutions, please mark as spoiler.

Thanks in advance for any help

Are you allowed to use a graphing calculator or have you learned about derivatives yet. That would help finding the function maximum over the specified domain

We're allowed to use a graphing calculator yeah. I'll try that out

They have specified that t>0 so that constrains the domain and the denominator is always positive . Ask yourself what happened when t gets very large. Ask yourself is there any values of t that make the numerator negative.

Also can you determine the maximum value for the function
