When taking the derivative, remember L is not a variable, just a number.

Look over your methods of finding critical points and points of inflection. What does the first derivative mean?

You also need another equation (or law) regarding energy.

Do you have any equations that may help you? If you share what you know and what you've tried, you're more likely to get help.

From the givens, I got D_c = (M_e - M_m) / V_c = [ D_e*V_e - ((D_m (V_e - V_c)) ] / V_c which is equivalent to yours and an answer, though slightly different, of the same order of magnitude.

You know a function for the slope. Maybe you know a way to find the maxima of a function?
