Question 23

4. Now, consider a different silver mine than in problem 3. For this new mine, the revenue
function giving the revenue, R, as a function of the number of ounces, n, of silver that are made is
$R(n) = 60n - 0.3n^2$.
The cost function giving the total cost when n ounces of silver are made is
$C(n) = 20 + 69n - 0.6n^2 + 0.002n^3$. Use calculus to find how many ounces of silver should
be made in order to maximize the profit. (Recall: Profit = Revenue - Cost). You should just type the
numerical value of the answer, accurate to three decimal places, whose units will be in ounces.
