Question 19 (L.O.1). People use a water pump to drain a filled swimming pool for cleaning pur-
poses.Let g(t) be the amount of water remaining in the pool after t minutes since the pump started
operating.Assume it takes 30 minutes to pump out all the water from the pool.Suppose that for the
first 2 minutes, the pumping rate is slowing down in comparison with the intial time, but after that,
it is speeding up until all the water is drained. Based on the description above, which statement is
TRUE?
