An office firm estimates that total savings in dollars by converting to solar heating system will be D (x) = 365 - 73/240 X raised to the power of 3. a) Determine the value of x that would give the maximum savings; and b) Calculate the maximum savings possiblle.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

is this correct \[D(x) = 365-(73/240)x ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

to maximize D, differentiate and set equal to 0 then solve for x

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

did you figure it out? use power rule to find derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No can you work it out for me. Thanks
