The costs for a bakery change depending on how many loaves of bread they produce. This rate can be represented by: \(\frac{dC}{db} = 25 - \frac{b}{10} \ ,b \geq 0\), where \( C \) are costs in USD, and \( b \) is the number of bread loaves baked.


The bakery owner knows that they have costs of 10000$ when they produce 1500 loaves of bread.


a) Find the expression for their costs function in terms of \( b \).


b) What are their fixed costs?


c) At what level of bread production are their costs highest?
