The number of salmon swimming upstream in a river in order to spawn is approximated by s(x) = -x³ + 3x² + 360x + 5000, with x representing the temperature of the water in degrees (°C). (This function is valid only if 6≤x≤20.) Find the water temperature that results in the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream.
