   A manufacturer has determined that the growth rate of sales S (in units) of a newly developed product should be approximated by S(_^')(x) =2,000/∛t , where t is the number of years from now. Assuming there are no sales at the introduction of the product to the market,
   How many units of the product will have been sold 5 years from now?


   At what rate will the number of sales be changing after 5 years?


   Using the result from part b., estimate how many units of the product will have been sold 6 years from now.

   Calculating as you did in part a. and without using the results from part b, how many units of the product will have been sold 6 years from now? Was part c a close estimate to this number?
