Answer:

The total cost of producing 6 widgets is $231.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Widget wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x.

To find : The total cost of producing 6 widgets.

Solution :

Cost is given by c (x) = ax^2 + bx + d

  • Cost $23 to produce 2 widgets,

c(2) = a(2)^2 + b(2) + d

23= 4a+2b+d .........[1]

  • Cost $103 to produce 4 widgets,

c(4) = a(4)^2 + b(4) + d

103= 16a+4b+d ............[2]

  • Cost $631 to produce 10 widgets.,

c(10) = a(10)^2 + b(10) + d

631= 100a+10b+d ...........[3]

Now, we solve equation [1], [2] and [3]

Subtract equation  [2]-[1]  and [3]-[2]

[2]-[1] →  12a+2b=80  ........[4]

[3]-[2] →  84a+6b=528  .......[5]

Solving equation [4] and [5] by elimination method,

Multiply equation [4] by 3 and subtract from [5]

84a+6b-3(12a+2b)=528-3(80)

84a+6b-36a-6b=528-240

48a=288

a=6

Put in equation [4]

12(6)+2b=80

72+2b=80

2b=8

b=4

Substitute the value of a and b in [1] to get d

23= 4a+2b+d

23= 4(6)+2(4)+d

23= 24+8+d

23= 32+d

d=-9

Substitute a=6,b=4,d=-9 in the cost equation,

The required equation form is c(x) = 6x^2 + 4x-9

The total cost of producing 6 widgets.

Put x=6

c(6) = 6(6)^2 + 4(6)-9

c(6) = 216+15

c(6) =231

Therefore, The total cost of producing 6 widgets is $231.

Quadratic
y = ax^2 + bx + d
c (x) = ax^2 + bx + d
c (3) = a (3^2) + b (3) + d
c (3) = 9a + 3b + d = 15.50

c (7) = a (7^2 + b (7) + d

c (7) = 49a + 7b + d = 23.50

c (12) = a (12^2) + b (12) + d
c (12) = 144a + 12b + d = 56

solve using simultaneous equations... to get a b and d

use that to solve for x = 5

hope this helps?

What is the solution to the equation 2 (x-3) ^2 =13 help help ASAP !
olganol [36]

Answer:

3+sqrt(13/2)

3-sqrt(13/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-3) ^2 =13

Divide each side by 2

2/2 (x-3) ^2 =13/2

(x-3) ^2 =13/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-3) ^2) =±sqrt(13/2)

x-3 = ±sqrt(13/2)

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 3±sqrt(13/2)

x = 3±sqrt(13/2)

What is 0.0592 in scientific notation
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

5.92 times 10 to the 2nd power.

Step-by-step explanation:

So funny I just finished my unit on scientific notation! So what you do is you count the distance from the first non-zero number (in this case, it would be after 5), and count how many places there are until the decimal point. I hope this helped! :D
