A study of the exercise habits of 17,000 alumni from a certain college found that the death rate (deaths per 10,000 person-years) was approximately R(x) = 5x2 - 35x + 102, where x is the weekly amour exercise in thousands of calories (0 sxs 4). Find the exercise level that minimizes the death rate.
