A supply company manufactures copy machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each copy machine) depends on the numb

er of machines made. If x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function
C (x) = 0.8x ^ 2 - 256x +25,939 . How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost? Do not round your answer.

Answer:

Number of copy machines must be made to minimize the unit cost=160.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the unit cost function C ( the cost in dollars to make each copy machine)

If machines are made =x

Then the unit cost function is given by

C(x)=0.8x^2-256x+25939

We have to find the number of copy machines for  minimize the unit  cost

C(x)=0.8x^2-256x+25939

Differentiate with respect to x

Then we get

\frac{\mathrm{d}C}{\mathrm{d}x}=1.6x-256 ......(equation I)

To find the value of x then we susbtitute \frac{\mathrm{d}C}{\mathrm{d}x} is equal to zero

\frac{\mathrm{d}C}{\mathrm{d}x}=0

1.6x-256=0

1.6x=256

x=\frac{256}{1.6}

By using division property of equality

x= 160

Again differentiate the equation I with respect to x then we get

\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 C}{\mathrm{d}^2 x}=1.6 >0

Hence, the unit cost is minimize for x=160

Therefore, the number of copy machines must be made to minimize the unit cost =160

To answer this item, we take the differential of the equation and equate to zero.
 
                  C(x) = 0.8x² - 256x + 25939

Differentiation,
                dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 
                 dC(x) = 1.6x - 256 = 0

The value of x from the derived equation above is 160. 

Thus, the number of machine to be made in order to minimize the cost should be 160.

What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -1 and a y-intercept of 2? y = 2x - 2 y = - 2x 2 y = 2x 2
guajiro [1.7K]
X intercept = -1,  y = 0           (-1, 0)

<span>y intercept = 2,  x = 0           (0, 2)
</span>
slope between (-1, 0) and (0, 2):

slope = (2 -0)/(0 - -1) =  2/1 = 2,           m = 2

Using point   (-1, 0)   x₁ = -1, y₁ = 0

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 0 = 2*(x - -1)

y = 2(x + 1)

y = 2x + 2

Write a division expression with a quotient that is: greater than 8÷0.001 less than 8÷0.001 between 8÷0.001 and 8÷110 does one b
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

  • 9÷0.001 is greater than 8÷0.001.
  • 7÷0.001 is less than 8÷0.001.
  • 8÷0.002 lie between 8÷0.001 and 8÷110.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The division expression which is greater than 8÷0.001 is:

9÷0.001

Since, the numerator of the number 9÷0.001 is greater than 8÷0.001. and as their denominator is same.

so, the number whose numerator is greater than the other will result in the overall number to be greater.

  • The division expression which is less than 8÷0.001 is 7÷0.001.

Since, for two numbers with same denominator the number whose numerator is smaller is smaller than the other.

  • The division expression that lie between 8÷0.001 and 8÷110 is: 8÷0.002.

Since 8÷0.002 is greater than 8÷110, as for two numbers with same numerator but different denominator the number whose denominator is greater is a smaller number.

similarly 8÷0.002 is smaller than 8÷0.001.
