Simplify the expression |
2012-02-12 |
|
From Christy:
Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far
s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points.

From Denise:
Total Profit= Total Revenue-Total Cost P(x)=R(x)-C(x) Where x is the number of units sold. Find the maximum profit and the number of units that must be sold in order to get that profit. R(x)=5x C(x)=.001x^2+1.2x+60
