Answer

t=0, The airline has most rapid increase of income in 2005

Work Step by Step

We compare points on the graph for the given t where the graph is the steepest AND rising At t=0, looking slightly ahead, the graph is rising (although, strictly speaking, we should have data before t=0 to compare)... At t=0.5 the graph is rising, less steep than for t=0 At t=1 the graph stops rising, not yet descending At t=2 the graph descends At t=2.5, still descending At t=3.5, stops descending, hasn't begun to rise. From the analysis, given the values for t, we conclude that the graph is rising and steepest when t=0, that is, The airline has most rapid increase of income in 2005
