Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that y represents production capacity, rather than <em>increase</em> in production capacity. Then we want to solve the 6th-degree equation ...

x^6 -25x^4 +199x^2 -4975 = 0

This can be factored in groups as ...

x^4(x^2 -25) + 199(x^2 -25) = 0

(x^4 +199)(x^2 -25) = 0

This has 4 complex solutions and 2 real solutions.

x^2 = 25

x = ±5

The duration required for capacity to reach 4975 units is 5 months.
