FUN-4.C—Interpret minimum and maximum values calculated in applied contexts question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The number of people who have entered a museum on a certain day is modeled by a function f(t), where t is measured in hours since the museum opened that day. The number of people who have left the museum since it opened that same day is modeled by a function g(t). If f(t)=380(1.02t)f^{\prime}(t)=380\left(1.02^{t}\right) and g(t)=240+240sin(π(t4)12)g^{\prime}(t)=240+240 \sin \left(\frac{\pi(t-4)}{12}\right), at what time t, for 1t111 \leq t \leq 11, is the number of people in the museum at a maximum?
