Answer

The point, where the function increases most rapidly is at t=0. The airline had the most rapid increase in revenue in 2005.

Work Step by Step

At t=0 $P(t) is steeply increasing. At t=0.5 P(t) is also increasing, but not as rapidly as in t=0. At t=1 P(t) is changing from increasing to decreasing, therefore we can say that it is not increasing. At t=2.5 P(t) is decreasing. At t=3.5 P(t) stops decreasing, but is not yet increasing. The point, where the function increases most rapidly is at t=0. The airline had the most rapid increase in revenue in 2005.
