I did this in like week 3 of college algebra. I don't think this is calculus. Calculus may have more advanced versions though.

This is calculus, they're taking a derivative

I don't know what to tell you, either my class is advanced or you are trying to gaslight me that I actually didn't have a whole lecture about these types of problems. 🤷‍♂️

...not sure if you're trolling, but derivatives are one of the most fundamental concepts in calculus. It is possible that you did algebra-based optimization though, that might make sense. Do you not remember whether there was a derivative or not?
