P(t) = 43,059t³ - 86,394t2 + 234,633t + 273,288
(0 ≤ t ≤ 4)
where t is measured in decades, with t= 0 corresponding to the beginning of 1970.
(a) Was the population of the county always increasing or decreasing over the time period in question. Hint: Show that P'(t) > 0 for all t in the interval (0, 4).
