    The number of newspaper copies distributed is given by C = 50 t2 - 200t +10 000, where t is in years. What is the minimum number of copies distributed from 1995 to 2002?

    Solution:

    \( \frac{dC}{dt} = 100t - 200\)

    \( \frac{d^2C}{dt^2} = 100 > 0 \) thus Minimum

    \( 0 = 100t - 200\)

    \( t = 2 \)

    \( C = 50(2)^2 -200(2) +10 000 \)

    \( C = 9800\)
