To determine the maxima and minima of the polynomial, differentiate the given based on x and equate to 0.
                                   C(x) = 400x - 0.2x²
                               dC(x) / dt = 400 - 0.4 x = 0 
The value of x is 1000. This is the value of the maxima. As the value of C(x) continously becomes lesser as the value of x is set higher, the minima is not identified. Substitute x to the original equation,
                               C(x) = (400)(1000) - 0.2(1000²) = $ 200,000
Thus, the answer is letter B.

The correct answer to this question is letter "<span>B. One thousand units have the maximum cost of $200,000." 

C(x) = 400 - 0.2x^2
0 = 400 - 0.2^2
0.2x^2 = 400
x^2 = 2000

</span><span> dC(x) / dt = 400 - 0.4 x = 0 </span><span>

</span>C(x) = (400)(1000) - 0.2(1000²) = $ 200,000

What is the explict formula for the arithmetic sequence -7.5,-9,-10.5,-12
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

<u>x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1) </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence has the form

x = a + d(n−1)

a is the first term and d is the common difference

The given arithmetic sequence is

-7.5,-9,-10.5,-12

The first term is -7.5

d = common difference = -9 - (-7.5) = -1.5

∴ x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1)
