A wildlife sanctuary monitors the number of deer (in hundreds) in its reserve. The population at time tt years is represented by a differentiable function N(t)N(t) satisfying N′(t)=90−12t,for 0≤t<10.N'(t)=90-12t,\quad \text{for } 0\le t < 10. Answer the following questions. a. Part 1: (i) Find the intervals in 0≤t<100\le t<10 on which the deer population is increasing and on which it is decreasing. b. Part 2: (ii) Explain in words what your answer in part (i) means for the sanctuary management. c. Part 3: (iii) Determine the year within 0≤t<100\le t<10 when the population attains its maximum value, and justify your answer.
