The minimum production cost for company 2 is greater.
The minimum production cost for company 2 is at point 1, and it's 899.5.
Just looking at the function for company 1, we can infer that the minimum will be much lower. As x increases, costs will initially decrease (-7x will dominate 0.05x^2). Since 300 is the y intercept, it will be lower than 300 for some portion of the domain until it hits a minimum.
The general formula: y=mx+b
(6,2) ⇒ x=6,y=2
m=3
b=?
2=3*6+b
2=18+b
b=-16
<u>y=3m-16</u>
First of all, you should know/notice that
You should also know how negative exponents work:
So, if you wanted
the answer would be x=3, but since you want 125 to be at the denominator, the answer is x=-3:
Answer:
u=11
