A medicinal drug administered into a human body requires some time to produce its effect on the body. The amount (in mg) of a certain medicinal drug in the bloodstream at t hours after administering the drug to an individual is given by the function:

C(t)=t3+4.5t2+54t,          0<t<10

Shown below is the graph of C(t) in the interval [0, 10].
