Answer:

The water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2}+405\cdot x +4965, for 6 \leq x \leq 20. x represents the temperature of the water, measured in degrees Celsius, and S is the number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, dimensionless.

We compute the first and second derivatives of the function:

S'(x) = -3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 (Eq. 1)

S''(x) = -6\cdot x +4 (Eq. 2)

Then we equalize (Eq. 1) to zero and solve for x:

-3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 = 0

And all roots are found by Quadratic Formula:

x_{1} \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C, x_{2}\approx -10.971\,^{\circ}C

Only the first root is inside the given interval of the function. Hence, the correct answer is:

x \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C

Now we evaluate the second derivative at given result. That is:

S''(12.305) = -6\cdot (12.305)+4

S''(12.305) = -69.83

According to the Second Derivative Test, a negative value means that critical value leads to a maximum. In consequence, the water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.
