At an Oregon fiber-manufacturing facility, an analyst estimates that the
weekly number of pounds of acetate fibers that can be produced is given
by the function:
z = f(x, y) = 15000x + 3000y + 6x²y - 12x³
Where:
z = the weekly # of pounds of acetate fiber
x = the # of skilled workers at the plant
y = the # of unskilled workers at the plant
Determine the following:
