Nerve Impulses A researcher in physiology has decided that a good mathematical model for the number of impulses fired after a nerve has been stimulated is given by y=-x² + 20x - 60, where y is the number of responses per millisecond and x is the number of milliseconds since the nerve was stimulated. (a) When will the maximum firing rate be reached? (b) What is the maximum firing rate?
