The percentage of men age 65 years and older in the workforce from 1950 (t = 0) through 2000 (t = 50) is approximately P(t) = 0.0155t²-1.111t+ 41.1 (0 ≤t≤ 50). Show that the percentage of men age 65 years and older in the workforce in the period of time under consideration was smallest around November 1985. , which implies that t = is a critical number of P. (Round the value of t to one decimal place.) P'(t) = P"(t) = , which implies that P" at this critical number is ---Select--- 0, so the critical number gives a ---Select--- value of P. This occurs around November 1985. What is that percentage? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) %
