You could use the first derivative to figure out the maximum value of a function, thus determining the highest amount of profit. Also second derivatives can be used to find the inflection points where the profit is at the highest slope.

Im not sure about integral calculus, haven't gotten there yet.

Thanks for the help
Later I checkedup from Maxima & Minima Chapter of Calculus.


We need to continuously explore to crosslink applications of mathematics
to other areas to prove usefulness of maths. :rofl:
