The number of visitors to a website on day tt is f(t)f(t) thousand. Given f(5)=12f(5)=12, a marketer uses the tangent-line approximation f(5.2)≈f(5)+f′(5)(0.2)f(5.2)\approx f(5)+f'(5)(0.2) and finds f(5.2)≈12.9f(5.2)\approx12.9. If this growth rate continued unchanged, predict f(6)f(6), the number of thousands of visitors on day 66.
