Question

Consider the production of gold during the California gold rush (1848–1888). The production of gold can be modeled by G(t)=(25t)(t2+16),G(t)=\frac{(25 t)}{\left(t^{2}+16\right)}, where t is the number of years since the rush began (0t40)(0 \leq t \leq 40) and G is ounces of gold produced (in millions). Find when the maximum (local and global) gold production occurred, and the amount of gold produced during that maximum.

Step 1. We are searching for extrema on a bounded interval [0,40][0,40]. First evaluate at the endpoints

G(0)=0,G(40)=0.62.G(0) = 0, \quad G(40) = 0.62.
