Answer:
The value of x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the right triangle
so
Right angle + α + β = 180°
90° + 4x+7 + 8x-1 = 180
Group like terms
Add similar elements: :4x+8x=12x
Divide both sides by 12
Therefore, the value of x = 7
Answer:
$9327
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently, the cost function is supposed to be ...
C(x) = 0.4x^2 -112x +17167
This can be rewritten to vertex form as ...
C(x) = 0.4(x^2 -280) +17167
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +17167 -0.4(19600)
C(x) = 0.4(x -140)^2 +9327
The vertex of the cost function is ...
(x, C(x)) = (140, 9327)
The minimum unit cost is $9327.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
You found the number of units that result in minimum cost (140 units), but you have to evaluate C(140) to find the minimum unit cost.
