Suppose a company wants to introduce a new machine that will produce a rate of annual savings (in dollars) given by the function S'(x), where x is the number of years of operation of the machine, while producing a rate of annual costs (in dollars) given by the function C'(x) S'(x) = 86-x², C'(x) = x² + x a. For how many years will it be profitable to use this new machine? The number of profitable years is
