From calculus, to determine the maxima or minima of the graph, get the derivative of the equation and equate to zero. So, we derive first the equation of the graph and equate to zero.

C = 0.25x² - 80x + 30000
dC/dx = 0 = 0.5x - 80 + 0
0.5x = 80
x = 80/0.5
x = 160 units

The minimum cost (although not asked) is:

C = 0.25(160)² - 80(160) + 30000
C = $23,600

The answer is 160 units.

Can anyone help with this question pleasee
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a^{3y - 5} = \frac{1}{a^2}

Apply the negative exponent rule

a^{3y - 5} = a^{-2}

The bases will cancel each other

3y - 5 = -2

3y - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

3y = 3

\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{3}{3}

y = 1
