R'(t) = 60 - 2t^{1/2} and C'(t) = 48 + 2t^{1/2}\where t is measured in years and R and C are measured in millions of dollars. Determine how long the operation should\continue to maximize profit.\Find the profit that can be generated during this period. Ignore any fixed costs. Round any decimals to 2 decimal places.

A business has modeled the revenue over the next ten years to follow the model r(t) = t + 372 while their cost of manufacturing, for the same time period should follow the model c(t) = t^2 - 13t + 337 where the revenue and cost are measured in thousands of dollars, and t is measured in months. Assume t = 1 is the start of January, t = 2 is the start February, etc. Calculate the following using the models above: a) When will the company have their maximum profit? (Round to the nearest tenths place.) b) What will their maximum monthly profit be?

Rt = 0.8t^3 - 8.5t + 28t, t > 0 R is the revenue, in tens of thousands, and t is the time in years. The annual cost C (in tens of thousands) to maintain the restaurant is given by C(t) = 0.82t + 30.5. During which year(s) was the restaurant making a profit? The owners plan to purchase a larger property when their annual profit exceeds 4.5 million. Based on this model, when will this purchase be made?
