value of , and it occurs when .
71. We apply the Closed Interval Method to the continuous function
on . Its derivative is
. Since exists for all , the only
critical numbers of occur when . We use a root finder on a computer algebra system (or a
graphing device) to find that when , , , or , but only the
second and third roots lie in the interval . The values of at these critical numbers are
and . The values of at the endpoints of the interval are
and . Comparing these four numbers, we see that food was most expensive
at (corresponding roughly to August, 1989) and cheapest at (midyear 1994).
