Whenever you face the problem that deals with maxima or minima you should keep in mind that minima/maxima of a function is always a point where it's derivative is equal to zero.
To solve your problem we first need to find an equation of net benefits. Net benefits are expressed as a difference between total benefits and total cost. We can denote this function with B(y).

B(y)=b-c
B(y)=100y-18y²

Now that we have a net benefits function we need find it's derivate with respect to y.

\frac{dB(y)}{dy} =100-36y

Now we must find at which point this function is equal to zero.

0=100-36y
36y=100
y=2.8

Now that we know at which point our function reaches maxima we just plug that number back into our equation for net benefits and we get our answer.

B(2.8)=100(2.8)-18(2.8)²=138.88≈139.

One thing that always helps is to have your function graphed. It will give you a good insight into how your function behaves and allow you to identify minima/maxima points.

First question. The midpoint of SR is...
Blizzard [7]

The formula of a midpoint SR:

M\left(\dfrac{x_S+x_R}{2},\ \dfrac{y_S+y_R}{2}\right)

We have

S(4, 1) and M(7, -5)

Substitute:

\dfrac{4+x_R}{2}=7\qquad|\cdot2\\\\4+x_R=14\qquad|-4\\\\x_R=10\\\\\dfrac{1+y_R}{2}=-5\qquad|\cdot2\\\\1+y_R=-10\qquad|-1\\\\y_R=-11

<h3>Answer: R(10, -11)</h3>
