Question

In 1958, you could buy an Edsel Citation convertible for $3800. Cars often depreciate in value rapidly, but one of these convertibles in "winning-show" condition could sell for up to $62,000 today. Suppose the value of this car could be modeled by the quadratic expression, v(t) = 23t - 450t + $3800, where t is the number of years since 1958.
a. Since this car was always kept in mint condition, what year would have been the worst year to sell the car?
