Any multiple of 4 would work.
So all you need to do if find the min of the function:
f(x)=0.04x^3-4x^2-176x
f'(x)=0.12x^2-8x-176
The only zero for this is x=84.105 <---first
Plug this into f(x) to get f(84.105)=-19300 <---second
Speed of the ship in the second hour = (62.5 * x ) / 100 kph.
In third hour it is [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]
is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again so we can now form the equation
62.5x x x
------- * ---- * ---- = 32
100 100 100
62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 = 512,000
x = 80 <----- Answer to (a)
(b) Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence
Dist travelled in 6 hours = a1 1 - r^n
-------- = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56
1 - r
Answer is 230.56 km
4 sheets
Explanation
30 divided by 9 gives you 3.333333
But you can’t have 3 1/3 of a sticker sheet so you round up to 4 sheets
