(b)Determine the number of customers of the boutique on a day so that the greatest daily profit is attained.
2.At any time t(in hours),the relationship between the number N of tourists at a ski-resort and the air temperature θ°C can be modeled by N=2930-(θ+400)[ln(θ+49)]^2,
(a)Express dN/dt in terms of θ and dθ/dt
(b)At a certain moment,the air temperature is -40°C and it is falling at a rate of 0.5°C per hour.Find, to the nearest integer,the rate of increase of the number of tourists at that moment.
