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:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these equations involving variables and exponents we need to follow these steps.

1) We need to find out the factor that is common in the equation.

2) After taking common, solve the equation. We can add or subtract only those values that have same bases.

1) 8+6x^4

here we can see, both numbers are divisible by 2, so taking 2 common

=2(8/2 + 6x^4/2)\\= 2(4 + 3x^4)

It cannot be further simplified because both number donot have same bases.

3.4n^9 + 12 n

We can take 4n common

=4n(4n^9/4n + 12 n/4n)\\=4n(n^8 + 3)

5. -12a -3

Here -3 cam be taken common

= -3(-12a/-3 -3/-3)

= -3(4a +1)

7. 12n^5 + 16n^3

here the smallest power of n is n^3 so, we can take n^3 common and both coefficients are divisible by 4 so taking 4n^3 common

4n^3( 3n^2 + 4)

9. 5k^2 - 40k+10

Here we cannot take k common, as k is not a multiple of 10. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 5 so, taking 5 common

=5(k^2 - 8k + 2)

11.-60 + 60n^2 +50n^3

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of -60. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 10 so, taking 10 common

=10(-6 + 6n^2 +5n^3)

13. -36n^3 -12n-28

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 28. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by -4 so, taking -4 common

=-4(9n^3 + 3n +7)

15. 63n^3+81n+18

Here we cannot take n common, as n is not a multiple of 18. For taking common it should be divisible by each value in the equation. But each value s divisible by 9 so, taking 9 common

=9(7n^3 + 9n + 2)

17. -24a^2b^2 + 36ab-60a

=6a(-4ab^2+6b-10)
