Answer:
production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:
f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300
2) Table that represents the production cost g(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 2:
x g(x)
0.6 899.58
0.8 899.52
1 899.50
1.2 899.52
1.4 899.58
3) Comparison: do a table for f(x) with the same x-values of the table for g(x).
x f(x) = 0.05x^2 − 7x + 300 g(x)
0.6 295.818 899.58
0.8 294.432 899.52
1 293.05 899.50
1.2 291.672 899.52
1.4 290.298 899.58
As you can see the values of f(x) are consistently lower than the values of g(x) for the same x-values.
The minimum production cost for company 2 is around 899.50 at x = 1, while the minimum production cost of company 1 is defintely lower (lower than 292.298 for sure, in fact if you find the vertex it is 55).
Answer: Based on the given information, the minimum production cost for company 2 is greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! I just wanted to let you know if you go to the site gizmos, it is an amazing site to help with parabolas and graphing, another place to visit is algebra nation select Algebra 1 though, you can talk 1 on 1 with a math professional!
Answer:
sqrt(2) sqrt(5) sqrt(2) sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(2) sqrt(5) sqrt(2) sqrt(5)
We know sqrt(a) sqrt(b) = sqrt(ab)
sqrt(2*2) sqrt(5*5)
sqrt(4) sqrt(25)
2 * 5
10
This is a rational number
