Mackenzie, this problem is way too advanced for you. I never had this type of problem until I took a course in Calculus. I don't understand why your teacher assigned it, perhaps your parents can ask that.

OK! It was in our book but my teacher did say it would be a challange. Can you just explain it one more time?!
Answered by bobpursley
I cant explain it any better for you than I did. It is a calculus question.

The alternative, graphing, requires a graphing calculator and knowledge how to use it.

Sorry.
