A medical equipment industry manufactures X-ray machines. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each X-ray machine) depen

ds on the number of machines made. If X machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966. How many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?

Answer:

x = 250 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using a graphing calculator or any plotting tool.

We must find the minimum point in the graph. This corresponds to the number of machines that produce the minimum cost.

The equation is

C (x) = 1.2x^2 -600x + 89,966

Please see attached image below

By producing x = 250 units, we obtain the minimum cost

What is the distance between (4,8), 6=y+ 2x
docker41 [41]

Answer:

  2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the distance between a point (x, y) and a line in general form, ax +by +c = 0 is ...

  \text{distance}\,=\dfrac{|ax+by+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}

The general form of your equation for the line is ...

  2x +y -6 = 0

so the distance to point (x, y) = (4, 8) is ...

  \text{distance}\,=\dfrac{|2\cdot 4+8-6|}{\sqrt{2^2+2^2}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{5}}=2\sqrt{5}

The distance between the point and line is 2√5.

(-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's bring back to memory vertex formula for parabolas.

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

Where (h,k) is the vertex.

In f(x)=2(x+1)^{2}-2

The vertex is (-1,-2)
