Multiple Choice

The number of people playing tennis T (in millions) in the United States from 2000 through 2007 can be approximated by the function
$T ( t ) = 0.0235 t ^ { 4 } - 0.3401 t ^ { 3 } + 2.556 t ^ { 2 } - 6.86 t + 23.8$
And the U.S.population P (in millions) from 2000 through 2007 can be approximated by the function $P ( t ) = 5.8 t + 224.5$ , where t represents the year, with t = 0 corresponding to 2000.
Evaluate the function $$h ( t ) = \frac { 0.0235 t ^ { 4 } - 0.3401 t ^ { 3 } + 2.556 t ^ { 2 } - 6.86 t + 23.8 } { 5.8 t + 224.5 }$$ for t = 0 and 3.
