Between 1985 through 1995, the number of home computers, in thousands, sold in Canada is estimated by C(t) = 0.92(t^3 + 8t^2+40t + 400),

where t is in years and t = 0 for 1985.

a) Explain why you can use this model to predict the number of home computes sold in 1993, but not to predict sales in 2005.

b) Explain how to find when the number of home computers sales in Canada reached 1.5 million, using this model.

c) In what year did home computer sales reach 1.5 million?
