Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret the function S(t)

$S(t)$ gives total sales in thousands of DVDs and $S'(t)$ is the rate of change of sales.

Step2: Analyze S(5)

Since $S(t)$ is in thousands of DVDs, when $S(5)=16.00$, the actual number of DVDs sold is $16.00\times1000 = 16000$.

Step3: Analyze S'(5)

$S'(5) = 5.12$ means the rate of change of sales at $t = 5$ months is 5.12 thousand DVDs per month.

Answer:

B. After 5 months, the total sales are 16,000 DVD's and the sales are increasing at the rate of 5.12 DVD's per month.
