dN/dt = 4950( 0 + (-1/24)t(e^(-t/24) + e^(-t/24)
= 0 for a max/min
...
...
(1/24)t (e^(-t/24)) = e^(-t/24)
(1/24)t = 1
t = 24
so t=24 gives a local max/min
but we also have to consider the endpoints.
f(0) = 4950(28 + 0) = 138 600
f(24) = 4950(28 + 8.8291) = 182 304
f(140) = 4950(28 + .40996) = 140 629
So what do you think?
