The problem asks to find the turning points of the height function of a roller coaster, which is modeled by the following polynomial function:

$h(t) = \left(-0.01t^3 + 0.35t^2 - 3.5t + 10\right)(t + 5)^2(t - 5)(t + 1)(2 - t^{\frac{1}{3}})$

Steps to solve:

1. Find the derivative of $h(t)$: The turning points of a function occur where its derivative is zero. So, the first step is to find $h'(t)$.

2. Set $h'(t) = 0$: Solve the derivative equation to find the values of $t$ where the slope is zero, which gives potential turning points.

3. Determine the nature of turning points: Use the second derivative test to classify whether each critical point is a maximum, minimum, or inflection point.

Let me walk you through each of these steps. Would you like to focus on one step at a time or get a full solution right away?

In the meantime, consider these related questions:

1. How do turning points relate to the behavior of the roller coaster's height?
2. Why is the derivative zero at turning points?
3. How does the product rule apply in the first derivative of $h(t)$?
4. What effect do the factors $(t + 5)^2$ and $(t - 5)$ have on the turning points?
5. What does the cube root term $t^{\frac{1}{3}}$ contribute to the derivative?

Tip:

For solving derivatives of products like this, the product rule combined with chain rule for terms like $(2 - t^{\frac{1}{3}})$ will be essential!
