To determine the number of years needed for the company to process a certain amount of milk, we use the given function which relates the number of years, x, and the gallons of milk, y. We simply substitute the number of gallons to y and solve for x.
y = x^6 − 9x^4 + 70x^2
630 = x^6 − 9x^4 + 70x^2
Solving for x, we will have
x = 4.8866 years or approximately 5 years
