Step-by-step explanation:
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:
I would use elimination. I would multiply 4x+3y=2 by 3 so the it becomes 12x+9y=6, and I would multiply the bottom equation by 4 so that it becomes 12x+8y=4. Because I am using elimination I have to get rid of one variable, I chose to get rid of X hence that the coefficient of X in each equation is now 12. i simply subtract both equations and get y by itself. y=2. I plug in Y to find x in either of the original equations, where I get x=-1. To check my work substitute the values of x and y in the other equation. 4(-1)+3(2)=2 -------> 2=2
