A company has installed new machinery that will produce a savings rate (in thousands of dollars per year) of S'(x) = 225-x^2, where x is the number of years the machinery is to be use. The rate of additional costs (in thousands of dollars per year) is expected to be C'(x) = x^2-25x+150. For how many years should the company use the new machinery? Find the net savings (in thousands of dollars) over this period.

After 15 years the use of said machine is no longer profitable

Step-by-step explanation:

it should be used, as long as the money generated is not smaller as the costs generated. By setting both formulas equal (calculating the x value for when they are equal) you get x = 15 and x = -2.5(which doesnt make sense in this context).
