In order to find the number of chips that would result in the minimum cost, we take the first derivative of the given equation. Note that the derivative refers to the slope of the graph at a given point. We can utilize this concept knowing that at the minimum or maximum point of a graph, the slope is zero. 

Taking the derivative of the given equation and equating it to zero, we have:

y' = (0.000015)(2)x - (0.03)x° + 0
0 = (0.00003)x - 0.03

Solving for x or the number of chips produced, we have x = 1000. We then substitute this value in the given equation, such that,

y = (0.000015)(1000)² - (0.03)(1000) + 35

The minimized cost, y, to produce 1000 chips is then calculated to be $20.

Answer:

x = 4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 30° = x/7

tan 30° = 0.6

0.6 = x/7

7*0.6 = x

4.2 = x

Answer: y = -14/9(x + 4)^2 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given roots of the quadratic function is (-1, -7)

The vertex is at (-4, 7)

The formula is

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

The vertex is (h, k)

Comparing with the given vertex, (-4, 7), h = -4 and k = 7

Substituting into the formula

y = a(x - h)^2 + k, it becomes

y = a(x - - 4)^2 + 7

y = a(x + 4)^2 + 7

From the roots given (-1, -7)

x = -1 and y = -7

Substituting x = -1 and y = -7 into the equation,

y = a(x + 4)^2 + 7, it becomes

-7 = a(-1+4)^2 + 7

-7 = a(3^2 ) + 7

- 7 = 9a + 7

-7-7 = 9a

9a = -14

a = -14/9

Substituting a = - 14/9 into the equation, it becomes

y = -14/9(x + 4)^2 + 7

The perimeter of a rectangle is 354 km. Its side lengths are 81 km, 81 km, and 96 km. The fourth side length is given as "f" km.
k0ka [10]

The fourth side = f, now let's solve for f

  • f + 81 + 81 + 96 = 354

  • f + 258 = 354

  • f = 354 - 258

  • f = 96

value of fourth side = f = 96 km
