A manufacturing company plans to progressively increase its production capacity over the next few quarters. (A quarter is a peri
od of three months.) The increase in production can be modeled by the equation y = x6 − 25x4 + 199x2, where x is the number of quarters. What is the minimum duration required for the company to reach a production capacity of 4,975 units?
We are asked in the problem to determine the number of quarters that are needed to complete 4975 units given the equation y = x6 − 25x4 + 199x2 where y is the number of manufactured units and x is the number of quarters needed. substituting y = 4975, we find x. <span>x is readily found using calculator.</span>
