Short Answer
 

 1. 

The tide depth in a Pacific harbour from noon on March 1, 2012 to noon the next day can be modelled by the cubic function
f(t) = 0.001t3 – 0.061t2 + 0.870t + 0.315
where f is the tide depth in metres and t is the number of hours after noon.
Determine the tide depth at 10:00 on the second day.
